Homophones Lesson Plan. Have students take a few minutes to look at these sets of words and identify any patterns that they see. Advise students that these words are called homophones.
Tell students that this list includes several pairs of homophones. Use context clues to determine and verify meaning of homophones in reading. For example in some locations words beginning with the letters w h are pronounced the same as words beginning with the letter w where wear which witch.
Have a student volunteer to use one of the words in a sentence and then have another volunteer to use the second word in the homophone pair in a sentence.
Students then listen to a song identify homophones in the song and discuss their meaning and spelling. Have a student volunteer to use one of the words in a sentence and then have another volunteer to use the second word in the homophone pair in a sentence. A homophone is a word that has the same pronunciation as another word or words but that has a different meaning. Verbally explain difference in meaning of homophones.
