Take the spelling test and see how well you know these words.
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.
One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
