Alternative Spellings and Their Sounds

Some letter combinations create unique sounds even though they don’t follow typical phonics rules.
The WR, KN, and GN digraphs contain silent letters:
WR often appears in words like write and wrist, where the “W” is silent.
KN is found in words like knee and knock, with a silent “K.”
GN occurs in words like gnome and gnat, where the “G” is silent.
Recognizing these unique spelling patterns strengthens early literacy skills.
