Challenge your spelling skills with the Listen and Spell activity.
In this second set of homophones, words like whose and who’s or wood and would can trip up learners because they sound identical but have different spellings and meanings. For example, whose shows possession, while who’s is a contraction of who is or who has. Similarly, wood refers to the material from trees, while would expresses a conditional action.
Learning these homophones will help you avoid common writing mistakes. To check your understanding, try a spelling game and see how well you know these tricky word pairs!

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
