WHY THIS LESSON?
This is one of those basic grammar usage skills that constitute a ‘red light’ or ‘green light’ for a student’s academic path into the high school years. Incorrect usage here really stands out as that ‘red flag.’
Many of the most commonly misspelled words in the English language are the same ones that have been giving students problems for many years. These include 12 commonly misspelled homonyms or near-homonyms which are words that sound the same or similar but have totally different meanings
These words include:
- There, their and they’re
- Then and than
- Its and it’s
- Your and you’re
- Two, to, and too
The lessons include clear explanations and examples of each set of homonyms. This is followed by LOTS of practice sentences – more than 100 practice sentences, presented by homonym group.
Finally, there is a 33-question test which is mix-and-match and includes all the homonyms. The quiz includes an answer key.
Your child should have strong skills in this category certainly by the end of 6th grade. Beyond that grade, any deficiencies will just become more intense with ramifications in high school and on standardized tests.
