Check understanding
- Select the correct spelling from a pair of homophones by analysing meaning in context, e.g. 'The doctor's advice (noun) was to practise (verb) daily'
- Spell commonly confused words accurately by applying word-class clues: advise/advice, practise/practice, licence/license (verb ends in -ise, noun ends in -ice)
- Identify and correct homophone errors in extended writing, including to/too/two, there/their/they're, whose/who's, and its/it's
“When your child writes, do they use the right spelling for commonly mixed-up words — like "affect" vs "effect," "practice" vs "practise," or "there," "their," and "they're"?”
