Oh, What Fun!

Homophone Chant...Say It With Me!

THEY DON'T LOOK ALIKE...
they don't look alike...

THEY'RE NOT SPELLED THE SAME...
they're not spelled the same...

THEY SOUND JUST ALIKE...
they sound just alike...

IT'S THE HOMOPHONE GAME!
it's the homophone game...

We had SUCH fun hunting pears...I mean PAIRS of words that do just want our chant states.  Homophones are words that don't look alike, are not spelled the same, and yet the sound exactly like the other.  Look below for some of the pears...I mean PAIRS we studied this week!
