HOMOPHONES WORD-SEARCH

(15)
Like the earlier Homophones word spiral puzzles, all of the words used in these ten word-search puzzles are commonly misspelt or confused with other similar-sounding words. There is a printable sheet for the pupils and a solution sheet highlighting the fourteen words in each puzzle for the teacher. To make the words easier to locate on the solution sheet I have highlighted the first letter of each word in yellow, or orange when the letter begins two or more words running in different directions. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.
