This week, the students do not have a spelling sort on Friday. Instead, they will need to spell the correct homophone. Homophones are words that sound the same, but have different spelling and different meanings. This can be tricky. We have done a lot of practice in class with homophones throughout the year. I reminded the students that they won't be able to write the word on their Friday test until they hear me read the word in a sentence. I noticed a lot of mistakes on their spelling homework from last night. For example, students might have written, "I like to fly in a plain" instead of, "I like to fly in a plane". You can help this week by giving the spelling word in a sentence and then having your child try to spell it. Here is game that I found online that kids could play at home too this week. If they read the "clues", it will help them learn the correct meanings of the homophones.
