Tricky Too

We are working on this homophone bugger this week.  Do your kiddos struggle with using this guy correctly?  Mine do.

It is practiced all year long in our spelling program and some still don't get it.  It doesn't matter if I beg and plead or cry.  It doesn't matter if I stand on my head or run naked.  Some just don't get it.

But this little chant that is a take off on the their one I shared earlier seems to be helping . . . so far.

I figure if I beat it into them hard enough teach it enough ways they'll have to get it eventually right?!

Do you have a magical way to teach too to your students?  If so please share.

    I love this. The majority of my class is confused on the difference right now! Can't wait to add this to their poetry binders. :) Thank you!

    What an awesome way to teach this. It is a hard concept for them to grasp.
