We ate all eight slices of pizza! The words 'ate' and 'eight' are homophones because they sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. Do you like pizza? I do!
Homophones 2
This quiz extends the knowledge learned during our other Homophones 1 quiz. This task asks children to identify some of the less commonly used homophones and is, ideally, for Year 2 pupils in KS1 English and Literacy classes.
A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but is spelt differently and means something completely different. An example of a homophone is ‘site’ and ‘sight’. They sound the same but a ‘site’ is a location and ‘sight’ is something you see.
