📝 Explanation Summary:
Each word pair is a homophone. We match the
image to the
meaning of the word, not just how it sounds. For example:
- "Sea" vs "See": The image shows water → "Sea"
- "Hare" vs "Hair": A rabbit → "Hare"
- "Won" vs "One": A trophy → "Won"
This helps children learn to distinguish between words that sound alike but mean different things.
