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.

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.
