Which witch is which? How am I supposed to know? Don’t look at me. I don’t know!

Rather annoyingly, some words sound the same but have different meaning. Sometimes they are even spelt the same way too. These words are called: Homophones How confusing!

Can you think of any homophones? With your partner, see if you can make a list of homophones on a whiteboard. Remember: a homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning! Sometimes they can be spelt the same or can be spelt differently.

What homophones did you come up with What homophones did you come up with? You might have thought of some of these common ones: there, their & they’re right & write which & witch where & wear your & you’re to, two & too no & know one & won here & hear meet & meat

So, how do you no witch won too use? know which one to Er, Miss! I think you had better check your work... Much better! For some homophones, there are some useful little tricks to help you remember which one to use and when. Let’s take a look at some examples:

Go on then! How do you work this one out? hear & here hear ear - listening Go on then! How do you work this one out? here - places “What are you doing hear/here?” asked Mrs Goggins. here

Go on then! How do you work these ones out, then? there, their & they’re Go on then! How do you work these ones out, then? there here - places i - possesion their they’re they are - abbreviation The table is over there/their/they’re. there.

I always get confused with this one. your & you’re I always get confused with this one. your our - possesion you’re you are - abbreviation “Your/You’re late!” shouted Mr Roberts. You’re

I think I know what you are going to do now! meat & meet I think I know what you are going to do now! meat eat - food meet - the other one! Ham is a type of meat/meet. meat.

Unfortunately, not all homophones have a special trick to remember which one to use. Some, you do just have to remember! Maybe you could think of your own rules to help you remember them?

Use a dictionary to help you if you get stuck! WALT: At the BACK of your Literacy books: Full Stops: Can you match the pictures of homophones? Which pictures sound the same? Cut out the pictures, stick the pairs together in your book and write the words underneath. Commas: Using the pictures to help you as clues, can you choose the correct homophone to use in the sentences? Exclamation Marks: Can you choose the correct homophones from the options provided to complete the sentences? Semicolons: Can you write your own sentences for each of the homophones that have been given to you? Use a dictionary to help you if you get stuck! know homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings.

Extension These homophones do not have an obvious rule to remember them by. Can you think of a rule to help you remember which one to use and when? to, two & too no & know tale & tail write & right be & bee which & witch one & won
