Description: Do your English learners have trouble with past simple irregular verbs? One way to help students internalize these important spelling and pronunciation patterns is by comparing the past simple verbs with their homophones. Your English learners will practice spelling homophones in this fun interactive phonics game. On each slide, the children will see an illustration, hear the word used in a sentence, and spell the word using letter tiles. The word list consists of ten past simple irregular verbs and their homophones. The colorful illustrations and friendly audio recordings will help your students to understand new words and learn how to pronounce them. The following twenty words are included: ate, blew, blue, cent, eight, flew, flu, heard, herd, knew, made, maid, new, read, red, road, sent, threw, and through. The words are presented in random order. Children can play more than once and have a different experience each time they play. My students love these engaging word games and I hope yours will too! Phonics activities like this one are an important element of an ESL curriculum. By teaching phonics to your ESL students, you are improving their reading skills and helping them to understand spelling and pronunciation patterns.
