Silent GH: The Fairy Garden

Welcome to the Fairy Garden at night! Eight glowing lanterns hang high in the trees, and the moon shines bright over the toadstools.

Remember: In light, night, high, bright, eight and daughter, the letters g and h are silent: you write them, but you never say them. Light rhymes with kite: “The lanterns light up the night.”

Magic trick: The letters g and h tiptoe through the garden at night without a sound: in light, night and bright, the letters i, g and h together say the long i, just like in kite.
