I can still remember learning about homophones with Mrs. Widman in the second grade.  We had a paper tree on the wall with leaves that we wrote the homophone pairs on.  Since then I have always liked spelling and grammar, then linguistics and phonetics, so this review was right up my alley, and I was excited to receive All About Homophones. 

I received All About Homophones in E-book format ($27.95), but it is also available as a 250 page print book for $29.95, plus $4.95 for priority shipping (see deal below).  Parents are free to make copies for in-home use.  In this “tool kit” for Grades 1-8 you will find:  Games to teach homonyms, crossword puzzles, worksheets, great lesson ideas, activity cards, and puns, jokes, and riddles.  The book is organized by grade level, beginning with the simpler words, and I found it easy to use with different age/grade levels, plus the littles can even join in with the card games, which makes my life a little easier.  The only negative I see is the ink intensive design of the worksheet pages.

Ms. Rippel is very generous with the sample pages we can view, so please go to All About Homophones to see this jam-packed “tool kit.”  The website is informative and interactive.  There’s a Homophone machine I played with; My sentence was “I think it is almost time for dinner, but everything isn't ready yet,” and was converted to “Eye think it is almost thyme four dinner, butt everything isn't ready yet.”  That’s an aspect the book offers, too:  “Fun games and activity challenges to easily motivate students.”

I recommend All About Homophones as fun extension to your spelling and language program. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Danielle
