This week is a spelling activity focusing on homonyms.
Read the chapter from Ann. M. Martin’s ‘How to Look for a Lost Dog’ which is all about homonyms. Rose (the main character) loves homonyms which include homophones and homographs.
Homophones are words that sound (phone) the same but are spelt differently: their, there, they’re.
Homographs are words that are spelt the same (graph) but sound different: bow, bow.
Rose creates lists of homonyms because she really likes them. How many groups of homonyms can you (ewe) create and can you (yew) then use them correctly in (inn) sentences. I wonder whether you can write a sentence with the whole (hole) group of homonyms in it?
Challenge – Rose can only think of one group of 4 homonyms. Can you think what that is? (Check Rose’s rules for homonyms in the chapter.)
There will be a test on Friday 06 October focusing mainly on the homophones the children learnt last week.
