Homophones

Yesterday we added to our Word Wall for the first time! Our Word Wall consists of homophones that are commonly misspelled. A homophone is a word that sounds like another word, but has a different meaning and is spelled differently. We learned three sets yesterday:

know - when you understand something completely

no - a negative response to a question, a reference that something is not true, rejection of something, or denial of permission
***********************************
which - used to ask a question when there are several possible answers

witch - a female that is thought to possess magical or evil powers
***********************************
right - something that is correct; also the opposite of left

write - create words or letters on paper with a pen or pencil
