![]() ![]() Although we have retained the ‘wr’ spelling in English, we stopped pronouncing the ‘w’ around the 1450s to 1700s, except in some dialects.Ī useful teaching strategy is to have students research words containing ‘wr’ and then to combine the most frequently occurring words into a story picture. The ‘w’ in the ‘wr’ used to be pronounced. One activity you could do with students is to discuss how the ‘wr’ words relate to twisting or distorting. To ‘wrap’ is to twist paper, your ‘wrist’ can twist, ‘writing’ is twisting the shape of letters, to ‘wreck’ is to distort or twist an item out of shape. These words usually refer to twisting or distorting. The challenge is to help students remember those words.įirst it is useful to have an understanding of the etymology of the words containing the unpronounced ‘w’.Īn unpronounced ‘w’ is most commonly followed by the letter ‘r’ (wrap, wrist, wrestle, write, wring). There are relatively few words in English which contain an unpronounced ‘w’ (see attached image).
