I’m here to protect you, my dear.
From the Ninja Letters.
SAY WHAT?
‘Wait…what?!” you might be thinking.
‘Ninja…letters? What’s that?!’
That’s my new name for letters that you can SEE but not HEAR in English. They are silent, and sneaky. Just like ninjas!
A HANDY NINJA LIST: keep these in mind, and keep your mouth safe! 👄
NINJA B:(the B is silent)
lamb, thumb, numb, crumb, climb
N|INJA K:(the K is silent)
knock, knack, knob, knuckle, knife, knee
N|NJA T: (the T is silent)
Christmas, listen, match, witch, glisten, castle
NINJA H: (the H is silent)
rhythm, what, honest, hour, ghost, whether
So, the next time these letters sneak up on you, just acknowledge them with your eyes but NOT WITH YOUR MOUTH!!
I hope this helps you deal with the Ninjas!
Liefs,
Buffi
