SILENT LETTERS
 DEFINITION OF SILENT LETTERS

 Silent letters are letters that can’t be

heard when word is spoken. There are
silent letters in some English words
because over hundreds of years we’ve
changed how we pronounce those
words but kept the old spelling. The
spelling tells us how the word used to
be pronounced.
