Vocabulary Strategy: Homographs and Homophones
This week, we are reviewing homographs and homophones!
- Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. For example: bat (an animal) and bat (used to play baseball).
- Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. For example: see and sea.
Try It at Home!
Make learning fun by becoming word detectives with your child! Look for homographs and homophones in books, during conversations, or around your home. Challenge each other to think of examples and use each word in a sentence to show its meaning.
Family Challenge: Can you and your child come up with three pairs of homophones and three homographs? See who can think of the most!
Remember: Understanding how words are spelled, sound, and are used in sentences helps us become stronger readers and writers!
