Teachers -- tell the students: Correct
spelling in writing is very important -- if your writings have misspelled
words or wrong word usage, your reader may not understand what you are
trying to say. Homophones are words that are very often misused and
Homophones are words that have the same
sound but different spelling and meaning. Here are some examples:
Examples of Homophones
Teachers: let the students brainstorm as
many homophones as they can, out loud or together, in small groups. Then
have each group share with the class the meanings of each homophone, letting
them use the dictionary, if needed. Have them write each homophone in a
sentence, for practice.
Correct Usage of Homophones
Teachers: read this out loud or write it
on the board. Have the students choose which words are homophones, and
replace with the correct homophone.
Correct usage is vital when using
homophones. This is an example of what happens when homophones are not used

Ants. They came over to our manner and brought
they're dog. I got too baby-sit the dog scents they were
flying on a plain to a mountain peek for a ski trip. I got
along well with there dog while it stayed with me, and he had a good
time, even though he was scratching and trying two flea from
his flees. My mom was angry, though, when he snuck into the desert
leaving his knows and pause all read. I let him sleep
on a caught at night, and he wagged his tale every mourning
when he woke up. He stayed a hole weak, and he didn't even
brake a thing!
