Homophones with pictures

Key notes :

Definition of Homophones:

• Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings (e.g., “two” and “too”).

Examples of Homophones:

• Sun (the star in the sky) vs. Son (a male child).

• Flour (used for baking) vs. Flower (a plant).

• Right (correct) vs. Write (to form letters on paper).

• Sea (large body of water) vs. See (to look).

Importance of Understanding Context:

• Context helps in determining which homophone to use in a sentence. For example, “I want to see the sea” uses both correctly.

Using Pictures to Differentiate:

• Showing images can help students visualize the difference between homophones. For example, a picture of a plant for “flower” and a baking ingredient for “flour”.

Common Homophones:

• Bear (animal) vs. Bare (without covering).

• Hear (to listen) vs. Here (in this place).

• Knight (medieval soldier) vs. Night (time after sunset).

• Be (exist) vs. Bee (insect).
