What's Inside

As my assistant you must help me figure out these homophones!

Read this book one on one and help your child listen closely to words that sound the same but mean different things. The pages support early language skills, word meaning, and careful thinking about spelling and sound.

It is a good fit for kindergarten readers who are building vocabulary and learning about word pairs. Pause often and ask your child to say the words out loud so they can hear the match in sound and the change in meaning.
