Learning About Homonyms

This lesson consists of homonyms that students have had difficulty in learning such as hear/here, their/there, or to/too/two.

This lesson is for third through fifth grade students.

First, you will copy the worksheet so that each student will have a copy.

Then, you will write an example on the board so they can see what they are to do.
