Homophones from this unit: If you confuse these words the computer spellchecker will not spot your mistake - so it is especially important to learn them. |
| our - belonging to us hour - 60 minutes |
We'll eat at our house tonight. I expected you back an hour ago. |
| flour - made from wheat flower - bloom |
Make batter from flour and milk. Her garden is full of flowers. |
| aloud - not quiet allowed - permitted |
Read the words aloud. Children are not allowed to see this film. |
| bow - lower the head bough - large branch |
They all bowed to the Queen. The bough was laden with apples. |
| foul - dreadful, dirty fowl - birds |
I hate this foul weather. Hens and ducks are domestic fowl. |
| council - governing group counsel - advice |
The council won't allow any more
houses here. I was given counselling after the accident. (US: counseling) |
This completes the work on the /ou/ sound. These few homophones are tested later in the course, together with those from Unit 17.
The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.
"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
