kn and wr
What are the Silent Letter Pairs
Silent letters are letters that can't
be heard when the word is
spoken.
For example: In the word ‘knee', you
don't pronounce the letter ’k’.
Also, the letter ’w' is silent in the word
‘wrong'.
 Silent Letter Pairs
kn and wr

Silent letters sometimes appear in

pairs with other letters, so the first
consonant is silent in each pair.
kn: The k is silent, so the sound is /n/.
wr: The w is silent, so the sound is /r/.
