Reviewing and writing homophones
I can correctly write homophones in cursive handwriting.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Two or more words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings are called homophones.
- The words start with a lead in on the line and finish with a lead out.
- There are four cursive joins.
- The join used depends on which letter is joining to which letter within a letter string.
- You don't lift your pencil to form the joins.
Keywords
Homophones - words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings
Join - how the letters are connected together
Letter string - a group of letters that are written together in a word
Letter spacing - the amount of space between individual letters in a word, ensuring they are evenly spread out for clear and legible writing
Common misconception
Children can forget the lead-in loop for the letter f when it is at the beginning of a word.
Model and remind children that every lower case letter starts on the baseline for cursive handwriting. This will remind the children to add the lead in loop.
