Silent Letters Worksheets — kn, wr, mb and Friends (Grades 1-3)

Some letters hide in plain sight: the k in knee, the w in write, the b in lamb. Silent consonants break the sound-it-out rules young readers have just mastered, so they need their own explicit practice — and that is exactly what this 12-page print-and-go pack delivers for Grades 1-3. (Already met magic e? That is the silent E on the end of cake and bike that makes the vowel say its name — our Magic E pack covers it. THIS pack covers the other silent letters: the sneaky consonants you cannot hear at all.) ONE FAMILY PER PAGE (6 pages): silent K (knee, knot, knight), silent W (write, wrist, wrong), silent B (lamb, comb, thumb), silent GH and GN (night, light, sign, gnome), silent L (walk, half, yolk) and silent T (listen, castle, whistle) — on each page children read the words, cross out the letter they cannot hear, and write the whole word. THEN MIX THE FAMILIES (4 pages): circle the silent letter in mixed words, finish the word by adding the missing silent-letter team, circle the REAL spelling (knife or nife?), and a silent-letter detective page where children find the hiding word in a full sentence. 80 exercises in all, plus full answer keys naming the silent letter in every word, so marking takes seconds. Clean, ink-friendly pages with lots of white space suit structured-literacy and intervention settings. Perfect for first to third grade, homeschool, tutoring and morning work — the natural next step after our phonics and Magic E packs. Print-ready PDF in both US Letter and A4.
