๐ŸŒŸMake two sentences of your own to show the difference of Homograph๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ‘‹ Introduction

Hello kids!
Today we will learn about some special words called homographs.

Homographs are words that look the same when we write them ๐Ÿ“, but they have different meanings.

Itโ€™s like one word doing two different jobs!

๐Ÿ”ธ For example, the word “bat” can mean:

  • A stick we use to hit a ball ๐Ÿ
  • An animal that flies at night ๐Ÿฆ‡

๐Ÿ”ธ Another example is the word “bark”:

  • The sound a dog makes ๐Ÿถ
  • The outer covering of a tree ๐ŸŒณ

Isnโ€™t that fun?
Learning homographs will help you understand words better when you read ๐Ÿ“– and write โœ๏ธ!

๐Ÿ”– Tips & Tricks (Remember):

โœ… They are spelled the same! ๐Ÿ“
โœ… They have different meanings! ๐Ÿ”„
โœ… They are usually pronounced the same, but sometimes they are said differently! ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
