Edit: thanks, but I’m more interested in speech rather than writing. This question is from an actual 5 year old.
Edit: please be patient, I’m definitely confused.
Back story,
I’m trying to teach my kid spellings using phonetics (like they do in their schooll. So far kid is doing great except the words with silents. One thing led to another and I had to ask this here.

Phonics is a series of sounds made up of letters that combine to make our words. Different combinations of letters can be grouped into similar “sounds”. The silent letters are hangovers from English being make from so many different languages eg Latin, Greek, German, French and more.
