The word 'light' is pronounced with a silent 'gh'.
Spelling: -igh
Let's have a KS2 English spelling quiz all about the letters 'igh'! Words like light, sight, and fright have 'gh', but it's silent. English words often use 'igh' for the 'long i' sound (like in 'sight'). It might seem a bit strange, and you've probably heard the 'gh' is silent. A long time ago, people said 'night' with the 'gh' sound, but it changed over the years, and the spelling stayed the same.
Learning to spell might seem boring, but it's super important! Good spellers have better chances in jobs. Keep practising and see if you remember these words with the '-igh' quiz.
