Try this list of fun ways to practice homophones to get you started.
Many are ready to go but a few will require some planning on your part.

Homophones are important words for students to memorize.
Even in my sixth grade classroom, I am finding that many of my students often confuse words such as to, too, and two. It’s important that they receive the practice they need in order to memorize the difference.
I’ve put together a list of ideas you might use when working with your children.
I hope they find these ideas fun!
