Phonics Adventures: The Silent Knight
At Letterland School, the Halloween party is in full swing-costumes, crafts, and candy galore But when Letter G arrives dressed as a spooky ghost, not every letter is laughing. Letters R, N, and M feel a little uneasy... until some unexpected heroes step in.
Silent letters K, W, and B may not always make a sound, but today, they speak volumes through kindness and courage. Sticking by their friends and showing that even silent letters can be strong, they help turn fright into fun and fear into friendship.
This heartwarming Halloween tale is a charming reminder that every letter matters-whether you can hear them or not. With playful wordplay and a touching message of support, The Silent Knight is a perfect seasonal read-aloud for classrooms and families alike.
Even in a room full of chatter, sometimes it's the quietest letters that make the biggest difference.
Phonics Rule: Silent Letters
Silent letters hide away, but help the word their own way
At the start or at the end, they are silent but defend
Though they never make a peep, in the spelling, they must keep
The letter pairs mb, kn, and wr have silent letters because English borrowed words from older languages. While pronunciation changed over time, the original spelling remained. Each of these letters was once spoken but gradually became silent.
