What's Happenin' Wednesday? Three in a Row.Peek at My Week 2/23/14: Giveaways and a Sale!.If you were a homophone, you would be pronounced the same as another word, but you would have a different spelling and a different meaning. Silly sentences caused ripples of laughter and helped the students remember key ideas, and the simple, concise expository text is easily comprehended by even the youngest of language learners. : If You Were a Homonym or a Homophone (Word Fun) (9781404831612) by Loewen, Nancy and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. The bright illustrations caught their attention while the simple sentence structure was easy to remember and connect with. To help us with our quest, I remembered this book, pulled it from the shelf, and immediately shared it with the class. Some say that the two terms are interchangeable while others state differing definitions. Apparently the linguistic experts can not quite agree. We quickly consulted both the hard copy dictionary in our room and one online and soon discovered conflicting definitions so we expanded our search. When we first began our study one of the boys asked me the question, "What's the difference between a homophone and a homonym?" He had heard both terms used interchangeably and was curious.
Not because they haven't mastered them but because of the polar vortex. Three weeks later we are still studying these words. They were still confused by some of the more tricky ones so I created a list of twenty to use as their spelling words. My fifth graders were in need of studying homophones again.
