What this worksheet teaches

• Read homophones correctly in context (weight/wait, board/bored).
• Read multisyllable words by finding the vowel sounds and splitting between them.
• Use Greek and Latin roots (tele-, port-, graph-, dict-) to work out unfamiliar words.
• Spell words with silent letters - knee, wrist, lamb, sign - and know where they cluster.

How to use this worksheet

Silent letters follow patterns worth naming out loud: kn at the start, mb at the end, wr before a vowel. Naming the pattern turns a hundred odd spellings into three small groups.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Choose the correctly spelled word:
2. Word with long 'a' sound:

Frequently asked questions

Why do knee and know have a silent k?

It used to be pronounced, and the spelling stayed behind. Knowing kn always begins these words is more useful than the history.

How can my child tell -tion from -sion?

Not by ear. A rough guide: -sion often follows l or s sounds (tension, division), -tion is far more common otherwise. When in doubt, -tion is the safer guess.

Do roots really help this young?

Yes. A child who knows tele means far and graph means write can attempt telegraph, telephone and photograph without being taught each one.
