From our teachers' playbook

Sound the same, mean something new

What do kids learn about homophones?

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings, like bear and bare. Kids start noticing simple pairs in 2nd grade, such as see/sea and right/write. By 3rd and 4th grade they're expected to use the tricky ones correctly in writing: their · there · they're and to · too · two. They also meet cousins of homophones: homographs, which are spelled the same but mean different things, like a bat that flies and a bat you swing. The click is realizing the sentence tells you which word you need.

Our favorite ways to teach homophones

Homophones are all about meaning. These moves help kids picture the difference and pick the right word.

Draw both meanings

Fold a paper in half and have kids draw each word in a pair, like hair on a head and an ear to hear. Add the spelling under each picture. The silly drawings give kids a mental image to grab when they're writing.

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Their, there, they're think-aloud

Write a sentence with a blank and talk through your choice out loud: "Is it a place? Then it's there, with here hiding inside. Is it they are? Then it's they're." Show the clue in each one and let kids try the next few with you.

Why it works: handing over the work step by step, from teacher to student, is one of the most widely used teaching frameworks (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Mix the tricky pairs

Once kids know a few pairs, stop teaching them one at a time. Mix several homophone pairs on one page so kids have to stop and think about meaning each time. That's exactly what real writing asks them to do.

Why it works: shuffled practice teaches kids to choose the right strategy, not just repeat one, and it improved test scores in research (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Homophone questions we hear a lot

What are homophones?

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and usually different spellings, like flower and flour, or knight and night.

What's the difference between homophones and homographs?

Homophones sound the same but are spelled differently, like sea and see. Homographs are spelled the same but have different meanings, like a bat that flies and a baseball bat. Some homographs even sound different, like a wind that blows and wind up a toy.

How do I teach their, there and they're?

Teach one clue for each: there has here inside it and points to a place, their has heir and shows owning something, and they're is a short way to say they are. Practice with sentences, not just lists.

What grade learns homophones?

Kids meet simple homophones in 2nd grade, and 3rd and 4th graders practice using commonly confused words like to, too and two correctly in their writing.

What are some common homophones for kids?

Good starter pairs are to/too/two, there/their/they're, right/write, see/sea, ate/eight, hear/here, no/know and blue/blew.
