Homophones

This week, we have been having fun with homophones.

A homophone is a word that is pronounced in the same way as another word but has a different meaning.

The words we looked at were spelled in a different way:

There/Their
They live over there.
This is their house.

They can also be spelled in the same way too:

Rose/Rose
He bought her a rose for her birthday
The audience rose when she walked in the room
