This week, we’ve been learning about adding homophones – words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. This is one of the many aspects of the English language that is so tricky. In order to read, write and spell accurately we need to have a good understanding of homophones. This week, we’d like you to practise spelling these words at home. Because of the different meanings, it’s best to practise these words in sentences.
