4. see / sea

👉 Students should draw two small pictures for each pair to show both meanings.

Choose the correct homophone based on context.

1. I used two cups of ___ in the cake batter.

hare

read

2. pair
3. hare
4. read

🔹 DAY 4: Read the words. Color the matching homophones the same color.



Here are homophones grouped together. Match the words that sound alike and color them the same.

Let’s identify the homophones:

- ant & aunt → both pronounced /ænt/
- bear & bare → both pronounced /beər/
- new & knew → both pronounced /nuː/
- bye & buy → both pronounced /baɪ/
- doe & dough → both pronounced /doʊ/
- bawl & ball → both pronounced /bɔːl/
- buy & by → both pronounced /baɪ/ (note: “by” is also here)

Wait — actually, let’s clarify:

The grid has:
- ant (insect)
- bear (animal)
- new (fresh)
- bye (goodbye)
- doe (deer)
- bawl (cry loudly)
- ball (sports)
- buy (purchase)
- dough (bread mix)
- knew (past of know)
- bare (naked)
- aunt (relative)

Now match homophones:

1. antaunt → same sound → color both the same
2. bearbare → same sound → color both the same
3. newknew → same sound → color both the same
4. byebuy → same sound → color both the same
5. doedough → same sound → color both the same
6. bawlball → same sound → color both the same

⚠️ Note: “buy” appears twice — once as a word and again under “by” — so make sure “buy” and “by” are paired.

But wait: “by” isn't shown? Let's check the grid:

Actually, the grid shows:
- buy
- bawl
- ball
- dough
- doe
- knew
- bare
- bear
- new
- ant
- aunt
- bye

So homophones are:

- ant & aunt → same sound
- bear & bare → same sound
- new & knew → same sound
- bye & buy → same sound
- doe & dough → same sound
- bawl & ball → same sound

So, student should:
- Color ant and aunt the same color
- Color bear and bare the same color
- Color new and knew the same color
- Color bye and buy the same color
- Color doe and dough the same color
- Color bawl and ball the same color

Use six different colors, one per pair.

#### 1. write (to put words on paper)
Example:
👉 I like to write stories in my journal.

#### 2. right (correct or direction)

Or:

Student should write two clear, grammatically correct sentences using each word correctly.
