Have you tried everything you can think of to help children use there, their, and they’re appropriately? Proper spelling of homophones is critical to success in communicating in a way that inspires respect for the writer’s ideas. But homophone awareness doesn’t always come easily!
Homophones uses higher-order thinking to help children internalize the spelling–meaning connection for pairs (or trios) of sound-alike words. This is a multi-modal approach to teaching these tricky words. Through a series of activities, children construct personalized methods for remembering, for example, which witch is which. This creative process helps internalize the correct use of each homophone, storing them for more automatic recall when needed. Activities repeat for each set of homophones, enabling students to complete the work independently after the first week’s lessons.
Implementation tip: with 4 activities for each word set, this resource is ideal as a spelling-substitute for weeks shortened by Monday holidays!
