Lesson details
Key learning points
- Words that are pronounced the same but have different spellings and meanings are called homophones.
- Unlike other words we have investigated, there are no patterns for homophones.
- The way a word is spelt and its place within a sentence will tell us its meaning.
- How to spell the curriculum words: straight, caught and possess.
Common misconception
Homophones sound the same, so they may rely on previous spelling rules and so, spell them the same.
Spend time showing each word in a sentence, use images to support understanding and make sure each homophone is practised using a strategy.
