The Wriggly Worm

Some words have silent letters. A silent letter is a letter that you don't say when you read the word.

wriggle     kneel     pneumonia     gnome

All these words have silent letters.

Some of the nonsense poems have silent letters. Read the Wriggly Worm again.

The wriggly worm wriggled through the ground
And out popped out his wrinkly head
'What do you want?' said the gnome
'Get yourself off home,
It's late and I'm going to bed!'

Can you finish this next poem using some of these words. Try to make the 2nd and 5th lines rhyme and the 3rd and 4th lines rhyme.

know     knew     knuckle     wrestle

The knight and the knave could never agree

The knight was never wrong, the knave was always right
