Voracious caterpillars, known as fall armyworms, had nestled in the cobs and chomped through the leaves. "Not until I saw my field did I realize how serious this issue is," says Banda. "I've been affected drastically because I spent a lot of money in buying seed, which is almost going to waste if [the fall armyworm] is not controlled.

In this lesson and video we're taking a thorough look through these nightmare words and though you might get confused keep your thought processes open while we work on how you can remember them. Phew! Can you see the letter pattern they all have? -ough a tricky pattern to learn and spell. They also all have the th- letter pattern.
