Description
Hear it is! Weight know longer! This is won grate book that shouldn't bee mist! Seriously, this is a very helpful resource. The cover says it has "more homophones than you can shake a stick at." I don't know how many that is, but 101 sound-alike pairs and triples are covered in this book via grade-leveled worksheets and other activities. Worksheets have target homophones in large lettering on the top and ten fill-in-the-blank exercises The worksheets are intended as reinforcement; you should introduce the homophones and their correct usage before having students work them. There are also additional activities or fun facts at the bottom of each page plus an entire page of additional suggestions for using the sheets. A section of graphic organizer sheets can be used to illustrate (or paste pictures of) homophones and define them. This could even be part of your instruction process prior to having students work through the exercises. A section of homophone crossword puzzles is included following the worksheets. A table tells you when you can use each puzzle (the first can be completed after using the 2nd grade sheets). Six different homophone card games are provided, complete with cards to photocopy onto cardstock and/or laminate. A final section of More Homophone Tools contains a listing of books about or using homophones; My List of Homophones student sheets (for students to compile their own lists); tongue twisters; riddles; puns; answer keys for the worksheets and puzzles; and, finally, a mega-list of homophones (maybe more than you can shake a stick at). I think it's safe to say that this is the only homophone reference/resource book you'll ever knead!

Why did you choose this?
test?
There are no tests in the All About Homophones course. Instead, there are numberous ways to practice and reinforce the learning in fun way. There are additional activities or fun facts at the bottom of each page plus an entire page of additional suggestions for using the sheets. A section of graphic organizer sheets that can be used to illustrate (or paste pictures of) homophones and define them. Additionally, there are crossword puzzles as part of the lessons material.
Can I use this with two kids or do I need to buy a set for each child?
The author does allow for copy within families.
I already have Spelling Homophones. Would All About Homophones just be overlapping this book or does it have more homophones?
There would be a certain amount of overlap in terms of homophones covered but there are differences as well. For instance, All About Homophones covers lesson/lessen, medal/metal, and compliment and complement to name just a few of the add-ons. Another difference is that AAH separates the homophone pairs into grade levels for some of the work. Perhaps the biggest difference, though, is the variety of activities that is included in AAH compared to the single type of worksheet found in Spelling Homophones. AAH includes crosswords, games, "Fun Facts," and "Pun Play" as well as lots of other suggestions. There is also more built-in ongoing review in AAH.
I hope to use this to keep the kids engaged with their spelling this summer!
For those kids who don't just "get" subtleties of language the All About Reading series has been invaluable. I can't wait to see him begin to "get" riddles and jokes that now float over his head.
I had used it before with our two older children.
its recommended on AAL site to go with AAS level 3 and my child needs extra practice.
