SPAG homophones and using a dictionary year 6. 2 in 1 lesson.

This lessen (or should I say lesson) and the resources provided will help your children achieve two objectives from the year 6 curriculum. The first is being able to identify and correctly spell homophones. The second is to be able to use the first 3 letters of a word and dictionary to find the meaning of word.

I haven’t included a lesson plan because the presentation included pretty much teaches the lesson for you. Here are some basic notes and a brief run through of what happens in this lesson:

Start with a recap of what a dictionary is used for and how it is used.
Teach and define what a homophone is using powerpoint presentation.
3 way differentiated worksheets. To complete worksheets, children must use a dictionary to find out the meanings of words that sound the same but mean different things.
Extension activity where children convert nonsense passage into a passage that makes sense by choosing the correct homophones.
