Homophones

We added to our Word Wall today! 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.

I updated a paper copy that was sent home Friday. Keep it where your child does homework for easy reference. Once a homophone is on the Word Wall, I expect it to be spelled correctly in children's work.

*You can also find a copy on our classroom website

We learned two new sets today:

know - to understand something completely

no - a negative response to a question

***********************************
write - to put pen to paper

right - the opposite of left; an answer that is correct
