Write it Right!

Marlene Gellert Hutchins

Is it their or there or they’re? This practical spelling workbook contains 15 lessons that focus on 500 homonyms, those tricky words that sound the same but are spelled differently. At the beginning of each lesson, students can test their knowledge by completing a multiple-choice exercise. This activity is followed by an explanation of the homonyms and a review exercise called "Try it Again..." (148 pp.)
