|
Which Means:
An instrument with a handle and a sharp-edged blade that is used for cutting.
As In:
Dull knives are more dangerous than sharp ones.
Heads Up!
The I in 'knife' slices this word in half. Remember the silent K at the beginning.

As In:
Real trees don't wear casts to help heal their broken limbs like humans do!
Heads Up!
Shh, the B in 'limb' is silent.
|
Which Means:
To fight closely, using the entire body, without hitting or kicking.
As In:
My brother likes to wrestle for the high school team.
Heads Up!
Wrestle these letters into place! The W is silent and comes first.
|
Which Means:
Complete, fully and carefully done.
As In:
Violet was thorough in her report on bears, covering everything about the animal.
Heads Up!
This word's spelling isn't thorough without these two silent letters at the end: GH.
|
Which Means:
Very serious or sacred (holy).
As In:
Beth gave a solemn oath not to tell anyone the secret.
Heads Up!
The N in 'solemn' is silent and the 'uh' sound is spelled with an E.
