Same sound, different word!
Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings, like see and sea, or night and knight. Second graders learn to read the sentence around a homophone to figure out which one fits: "I ate eight grapes!" The tricky trio their, there and they're often shows up now, along with to, too and two. Kids also meet multiple-meaning words, like bat (the animal or the baseball bat). The click happens when a child giggles at a sentence like "The bare ate a pair."
Homophones are best learned in sentences and with a sense of humor. These moves use both.
Kids fold a paper in half and draw each homophone on one side: a pear and a pair of socks, a flower and a bag of flour. A picture gives them a memory hook for each spelling.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. Common examples are to, too and two; see and sea; and their, there and they're.
Homophones sound the same but are spelled differently, like flour and flower. Homographs are spelled the same but have different meanings, like bat the animal and bat for baseball.
Draw a picture for each word and use it in a funny sentence. Practicing one pair at a time works better than a big list.
They sound exactly alike and are all very common. A simple test helps: if "they are" fits, use they're. If it is a place, use there. If it belongs to someone, use their.
