Homophones - Flash Cards for Homophones: Keep these Illustrated Homophone Cards on a ring binder in your reading stations as a handy reference for your students. They are ideal for re-teaching and reinforcement of homophones. There are different definitions of homophones in many dictionaries. I stick to the basic rule: If the prefix 'homo' means 'same' and 'phone' comes from the word 'phoneme' which means 'sound', then the term 'homophone' means 'same sound'. This definition is simple and easy to remember. These are 46 cards which include fifty pairs (including a few triplets) of homophones, some of them are: aloud/allowed, bare/bear, eight/ate, flower/flour, mussel/muscle, cellar/seller, doe/dough, night/knight, rose/rows, rite/right/write, no/know, raise/rays, see/sea, you/ewe, pour/pore, bored/board, scene/seen, peace/piece, etc. The illustrations will help visual learners to remember the meaning of each word. Each card measures 7.5 cm by 9 cm and they fit on landscape letter sized paper (six to a page). Nyla's Crafty Teaching
