What it is
Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things, like sun and son or blue and blew. Kids need to know which spelling goes with which meaning to read and write them correctly.

Second-grade sight words, the words that show up most in books.
How to teach it
- Teach homophones in pairs, with a quick clue for each, like sea (big, salty water) and see (with your eyes).
- Use each word in a sentence and ask which spelling fits.
- Post the trickiest pairs (to, two, too and there, their) where your child writes.
- When reading, stop on a homophone and ask how you know which meaning it is.
Common mistakes
- Picking the spelling that looks most familiar instead of the one that fits the meaning.
- Mixing up to, two and too in writing.
- Writing right for write and here for hear.
