From our teachers' playbook

Their, there and they're, sorted!

What do 3rd graders learn about homophones?

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings, and third grade is when kids start getting them right in their own writing. They sort the tricky sets: their / there / they're, to / too / two, its / it's, right / write. Kids use context to pick the right word and learn little memory tricks, like "here" has "ear" hiding inside "hear." The click moment is catching a homophone mix-up in their own sentence and fixing it without a reminder.

Our favorite ways to make homophones stick

Homophones are all about meaning, so we connect each spelling to a picture or a trick kids can remember.

Crossword race

Use a homophone crossword as a warm-up: clues give the meaning, and kids must pick the right spelling to fit. Partners race to finish, then explain one answer to the class. Meaning first, spelling second.

Why it works: pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick far better than rereading it, one of the strongest findings in learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Mix the sets on one page

Once kids know a few pairs, mix them all in one practice so they have to stop and think: is it hear or here, its or it's? That pause is the real skill, and it's what transfers to their writing.

Why it works: mixing different kinds of problems in one practice set helped students do far better on a later test (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Questions teachers and parents ask

What are homophones for 3rd grade?

Homophones are words that sound alike but are spelled differently and mean different things. Common third grade sets include their/there/they're, to/too/two, its/it's, hear/here and right/write.

What's the difference between homophones and homographs?

Homophones sound the same but are spelled differently, like bear and bare. Homographs are spelled the same but have different meanings, like a baseball bat and a flying bat.

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

Give each one a trick. They're means "they are," so try swapping it in. There has "here" inside it, so it's about a place. Their has an "i" for a person who owns something.

How can I practice homophones at home?

Write notes with a homophone mistake on purpose and let your child catch it. Spot homophones on signs and menus together. Kids love finding grown-up mistakes!
