Homograph or Homophone?

We have been busy learning about homographs and homophones over the past two weeks. This can be a very confusing concept! Here are some ways to remember the difference between the two:

• A homoPHONE: We talk on a phone. When we talk on the phone we HEAR SOUND. So we can remember a homophone sounds the same, but is spelled different and has a different meaning!
• A homoGRAPH: When we use a graph we have to LOOK at it. So we can remember a homograph looks the same (meaning it is spelled the same), but has a different meaning and can sometimes (but not always) sound different.
