BACK TO WORKSHEETS
In this activity, we're going to to be looking at common homophones and how to spell them.
Homophones are words that sound the same but mean different things and are spelt differently.
For example bear and bare.
Read those two words out loud - did you notice that they sound exactly the same?
They have completely different meanings though - let's look at each of them in a sentence:
The bear was prowling through the forest.
On hot days I like to take off my socks and have bare feet.
In this activity, we are going to practise spelling a trio of homophones:
heel and he'll and heal
Let's look at these in a sentence so we can understand their different meanings:
I have a sore heel!

A heel is the back part of the bottom on a foot, under the ankle.
He'll feel better when he wakes up.
He'll is a contraction of he will.
Don't worry, it will heal soon.
Heal is a verb meaning to become healthy again.
Use Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check to practise spellings a few times before we begin the activities.
