We will be focusing on using the correct ‘there’, ‘their’ or ‘they’re’ to start with.

1. ___________ new house is wonderful.2. __________ a lovely family.3. I left my bag over __________.

1. Their. Use this to show belonging.2. They’re. This is an abbreviation of ‘they are’.3. There. In, at, or to that place or position.

You will be going over these particular homophones in lots of lessons this week as

starter activities. Remember, literacy is important in every subject. Improving your literacy levels will improve your life chances.
