During the teaching input, children are challenged to match and define homophone pairs, find missing homophones within a given sentence, and identify when an incorrect homophone has been used. In their independent activities, children apply what they have learnt by first matching homophone pairs, and then composing their own sentences with them, using the correct spelling according to the intended meaning. In the alternative activity, children create a class book of homophones, complete with definitions and examples, which can be added to whenever new homophones are discovered.
Everything you need is included within this Homophones KS2 English lesson pack - a detailed plan, an informative set of PDF slides for the teaching input, engaging activity ideas and printable resources.

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and different spellings. For example, "there," "their," and "they're" are homophones because they all sound the same but have different meanings. Even though these words sound identical, they are used in different ways in sentences. Learning about homophones helps us understand how to use words correctly in writing and speaking.
