Does your child get easily confused between words that sound alike but have different spellings? Homophones can be a tricky concept for kids to grasp, but fear not! In this blog post, we've got two crafty and engaging ways to help your little one learn homophones.

What are Homophones?
Homophones are like word twins that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Think of "pair" and "pear." Even though they sound alike, one is for fruit and the other is for matching socks. It's a playful puzzle in the English language. Imagine saying "I can't bear the bear in the zoo." See the twist? Learning homophones is like solving word riddles, and it's a great brain exercise. So, next time you hear words that sound similar but mean different things, you'll know you've met some friendly homophones.
