1c+Homophones

=Homophones=

Some people find it really difficult to memorise the different spellings for words that sound the same so that they write the correct one each time. This concept in particular may need plenty of revision and you may like to try some of these techniques in addition to the online tasks: -making flashcards (using cards or pieces of paper to write a sentence with two word options and putting the correct spelling on the back so that you can test yourself) -quizzing others (you can learn a lot, even if you are not the person being tested!) -making little clues to remind yourself e.g. here and there (there is HERE in tHERE) to remember there/their/they're -drawing pictures -so many more things you could do!

Are homophones the ones were there is more than one word that sounds the same? eg. they're, there, their. ~Edie

﻿Good question, Edie! Homophones are just words that sound the same but mean something different, although there doesn't need to be a trio like they're/there/their, it can just be a pair e.g. pare/pair! - Miss Sear

Is that how you spell pair/pare I thought it was pair/pear

Elise

There are three types! Pair/Pear/Pare -Miss Sear
