Book excerpt: Teaching Kids about Homophones and Homographs is a resource by Habakkuk Educational Materials meant to help students learn the difference between the words homonyms, homophones, homographs, and heteronyms. Through the use of colorful illustrations and sentences where the key words are used in context, students will learn to differentiate between homophones like rain, reign, and rein and two, too, and to. Reproducible worksheets are also available for individual practice and to assess student learning, and an answer key is available at the back of the book. Kids will discover that homophone words are a type of homonym but that not all homonyms are spelled differently. For example, ruler is also a homonym, pronounced \rü-ler\, because it can refer to either a measuring tool or to a leader. In addition, they will learn that not all words that are spelled alike have the same meaning or pronunciation, as in the homographs (heteronyms) dove, referring to a bird, and dove, the past tense of dive. The definitions on the following page summarize the differences between the words homonym, homophone, homograph, and heteronym.
