lighter Slide 1
Listen Up!
In each set of words below, two words rhyme
and one does not. Say the three words out loud
and listen for the one that does not rhyme. Write
it in the “Answer” column.
Then use the directions to select one of the
letters in the answer, and write that letter in the
“Letter” column. When you’re done, take all the
letters you’ve written and unscramble them to
form an idiom.
Example:
Which word doesn’t Answer Find the … letter
Letter rhyme?
Of your answer
know/go/now :
now first n
The word now does not rhyme with go and know,
so it is the “answer.”
The directions say, to find the first letter of the
answer, which is n, so n is written in the
“Letter”column.

Silent Letters
The letter k in the word "knitting" is silent; that is, it is
not pronounced. Silent letters appear in the spelling
of many English words. In the conversation, below
between 2 English Teaching Forum readers, there
are blanks for some words that contain silent letters.
Can you fill in the blanks with letters to spell the
appropriate words? In each missing word, the silent
letter is given to you. (For example, in “Don’t forget
to _ _ _ B your hair,” the missing word would be
"Comb"— the "b" is silent.) Numbers in brackets,
such as [1] and [2].
At the end of a sentence correspond with
the answers you will find in the Answer Key.
