This week’s spellings are all homophones – words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. In recent discussions about children’s writing with Mr Roundtree, both Mrs Hazell and Mr Owen found homophones to be an issue for most writers, regardless of ability – so we all have the same ones! Children should definitely practise these ones in sentences to make sure that they’re using them correctly.
