Product Description:
They say that the English language is one of the most difficult to master as there are so many inconsistencies and exceptions. One particular aspect of the English language that may cause trouble is homophones. Homophones account for over 30% of "spelling" mistakes. However, these are not necessarily "spelling" mistakes. Confusion on correct word choice may very well be the source of these "incorrect" spellings. Author Susan Anthony offers this book, designed to accompany Spelling Plus, as a resource guide aimed at teaching students how to differentiate between commonly confused homophones and homonyms in their writing. Background information including definition, part of speech, word history, usage frequency, and a mnemonic device are provided for each word. Additionally, this book contains a worksheet for each of the 130 word pairs covered. Each reproducible activity sheet contains a set of 20 sentences in which the correct word must be filled in. Answers provided. ~ Enh
