This engaging homophone lesson bundle teaches a simple, powerful strategy: Default (Anchor) vs. Exception. This strategy reduces confusion and supports long-term retention. Instead of memorizing two spellings equally, students choose one as their “anchor” and learn how to identify the exception, lowering cognitive load and improving accuracy.
 
Homophone confusion is common, especially for students with dyslexia, ADHD, or those learning English. This resource gives them a practical tool they can actually use during writing.
