Homophones! If I had a nickel for every parent note that had a homophone spelling error in it, I'd be rich, rich, rich! What's worse, teachers and even professors have the same kind of errors! The problem is, that type of error makes the writer look uneducated, or just sloppy.
My job as a teacher is to give kids practice, LOTS of practice, in using homophones correctly. That isn't done with one lesson, it takes lesson, after lesson, after practice, after practice. Luckily, that's pretty easy. Videos, games and activities are all over the Internet to help us get those crazy homophones into kids' heads. We can't start too early!!!
