There, Their, They're. Presentation and 40 Task Cards. for English KS2 - KS3.

The homophones 'there, their and they’re are difficult for many pupils to master, and they benefit from regular revisiting.

This resource is aimed at KS2 and KS3,but would also be valuable for groups of older pupils (and sometimes staff) who are still a bit unsure.

The animated presentation begins with a slide which shows how all three homophones are used. It is teacher controlled, so can be shown a line at a time to allow for discussion and explanation as required. It is followed by 15 animated slides where a sentence with a blank is displayed so that pupils can either respond orally, or have a go at writing answers on individual white boards. The answer is shown at the click of the mouse.

A text file is provided explaining why there is some confusion over whether ‘there’ (in ‘there is’) is sometimes classified as a pronoun.

There is a set of 40 accompanying cards for printing and possibly laminating. Each shows a sentence containing a blank, similar to those on the presentation. The task is a multiple choice one, requiring pupils simply to fill in the letter a,b or c corresponding to the word needed to fill the blank. A pupil sheet is provided for this, as well as a teacher answer sheet.
