Homophones and homonyms

What is a homophone?
A homophone is a word that has the same sound but a different meaning and/or a different spelling to one or more different words. Common examples include sea/see, their/there/they’re, affect/effect and practice/practise.
Our homophone and homonym activities include worksheets, homophones PowerPoints and games to help children identify, read, spell and understand the different homophones listed in the national curriculum.
