homophones |
| This week’s spelling list is formed using words that sound the same but are spelled differently. The activity this week is to write a silly story using all of the homophones. Be as crazy as you like, as long as you use the right word! Practise hearing the word and choosing the correct version for your sentence. |
- there/their/they’re
- your/you’re
- our/are
- to/too/two
- which/witch
- where/wear
- of/off
- of/have (as in shouldn’t have)
