About This Spelling List: igh 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.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
