How do you spell hike?

Syllables: hike

Tricky part: The long i sound is spelt with a plain i, and a silent e comes last. Children often reach for a y, or leave the e off.

Watch out for: hik, hyke, hiek

Memory tip: Hike keeps a silent e on the end. Leave it off and you are left with hik, which is not a word at all.
