About this word list ▲
The gh spelling pattern often perplexes learners because it can be pronounced in a variety of ways.
In many words, for instance night and light, the letters gh have no audible pronunciation.
In some cases, the gh spelling pattern is pronounced as /f/. Words such as enough and laugh illustrate this phenomenon.
In some words, for example ghost and ghastly, gh is pronounced as /g/.
Because the gh pattern can be used to spell so many different sounds, it’s really important to take the time to become confident with using it. Learn these words using the Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check and Listen and Spell spelling activities and try out our spelling games.
