This is the fun way to become familiar with homophones and the spelling associated with the words. The illustrated cards will contribute to comprehension, and with 135 homophone pairs (and the fun that this game brings) the benefits will flow into reading skills generally.

There are 15 sets of homophones in each game and each card has a discreet labelling system to allow you to reconstitute the sets if you so wish, so mix them up to suit your teaching and the needs of your students.
