The igh spelling pattern is used to represent long /i/ sound in English. You will find this pattern in words like high, sigh, and night. The igh combination is commonly used in the middle or at the end of a word.
When spelling words with the igh pattern, remember that the three-letter combination replaces the single letter i. This helps differentiate between similar-sounding words, such as right and write. Pay attention to the gh because these letters are part of the spelling pattern even though they don’t contribute to the sound.
