Millie & Biscuit

Silent H: The Star Tower

Welcome to the Star Tower, where Professor Luna Moon is telling friendly ghost stories! Sand timers count down each hour, and a toy rhino sits beside the big telescope.

Remember: Sometimes the letter h is silent. At the start of hour and honest, you hear no h sound at all. After the g in ghost and after the r in rhyme and rhino, the h is silent too: “We will look at the stars for one hour.”

Magic trick: A ghost is so quiet that even its h makes no sound! And an honest friend always tells the truth, even with a silent h.

Seek and Find

Look carefully at the picture of the Star Tower and find:
