Spell Bee Word: Wrath


What does wrath mean?

Word: Wrath

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Wrath means very great anger.

Synonyms: rage

How do you spell wrath?

Syllables: wrath

Tricky part: The word opens with a silent w, so pupils who spell by sound leave it out.

Watch out for: wrarth, wrawth

Memory tip: Wrath usually follows a wrong, so give both words the same quiet start.

Wrath in a sentence

Example 1: Nobody wanted to face the coach's wrath after the kit was left out in the rain.

Example 2: The children tiptoed past the cracked vase, hoping to escape Mother's wrath.

Example 3: The old story tells of a king's wrath when his favourite peacock went missing.

Fun Fact

That w was once really spoken. English speakers stopped saying it a few hundred years ago, but the spelling stayed, which is why wrong and write look as they do.
