In case you didn’t know, compliment and complement are Homophones, words that sound alike but are spelled differently. Honestly I forgot what a homophone was in about 5th grade, so how do I know, because of All About Homophones, (and yes I did use the book to find homophones to use in the title.) So what is All About Homophones, it’s a teaching manual, but they call it a “complete toolkit for teaching homophones.” Truly, I really liked it! It refreshed my memory quickly about homophones, had a great intro, and is a great book for teaching homophones to your kids. Whether you’re a homeschooler or just adding to what your kids learn in school.
It really is a complete toolkit because it includes worksheets, games, riddles, a suggested book list, and more for grades one through eight (or is it ate?) It breaks down many pairs of homophones by grade level, and had some interesting thing thrown in just for fun. It wasn’t a complicated lesson book, with pages of extra reading to wade through, it got straight to the point, and stayed there for all 250+ pages. It’s well separated by grade level, so it’s easy to use for one grade or several.
At first I thought the price seemed high for some worksheets, but as I continued through the book I saw all it really has to offer. As I continued through I became more and more impressed with it, and thought the price is actually really good, especially for 8 grade levels in one book!
What more can I say, I liked it, I think you will too! My advice though, pay the extra $2 and get the printed version, then you can make copies of individual pages that you need. A $2 savings isn’t much for an e-book in my opinion. You can order yours, and see sample pages, on the website, All About Homophones. There are some really neat extras on the site too, check out the Homophone Machine!
Stay tuned, I’m reviewing the Spelling Curriculum too, All About Spelling!
