This week’s spelling homework is to continue to learn the homophones for a test next week. It is important that you recognise the different spellings and when to use them.
- they’re/there/their
- are/our
- too/two/to
- hear/here
- where/were/wear
- off/of
The children will have sentences dictated to them with the homophone included. They’ll need to understand which spelling is correct, e.g. They’re standing by the wall. Their ball has bounced over the fence. There are many flowers in the garden.
Challenge your child at home to come up with a sentence that includes all the homophones in one!
