Add these free, printable silent letter worksheets to your phonics resources for you classroom. These pages include pictures to help students match words with meaning.

These pages will provide a challenge for students – silent letters will not be a beginning phonics skill. Instead, start with CVC worksheets and CVCe worksheets.

Silent letters are words that children will see but not hear when reading words. These can be tricky because the spelling patterns must be memorized as there is often not a trick as is found in many other words.

For these pages, I focused on words with the silent letters of b, c, d, g, h, k, l, p, t and w.

Practicing Words with Silent Letters

Because words containing silent letters can be so tricky to write, students will need lots of practice with these. You might try having them make a list of words they find in their reading containing silent letters.

Another idea is to make an anchor chart where students can add words they find on a class list. This might motivate students to find more words.

About These Silent Letter Worksheets

This set contains 25 printable pages where students will work with words containing silent letters. Students will complete words and color pictures while identifying the missing letters.

These pages might fit into your second or third grade word work practice.

You will find a range of Silent Letter Worksheets for phonics practice.

These pages might offer a challenge to students just beginning to read. If your students are not yet ready for silent letters, begin with short vowel sounds or single letter beginning sounds.

When creating these pages, my goal was to provide you with pages that will engage students. Many of the pages include mazes or other small activities to add a little fun for children.

The collection begins with pages that each focus on a letter. Students can follow the letter through the maze and color the pictures. Have students color the silent letter in each word.

The engagement piece can be especially helpful during a time of distance learning! Parents will appreciate the little extra these pages provide.
