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.

Sometimes it’s needed to make a letter before or after it make a certain sound. Sometimes it’s a spelling variation so that a word with the same sound has a different spelling (e.g. knot and not)
Sometimes it’s visual appeal. Sometimes it’s nothing at all
