One of the first things I noticed, when I became a teacher, was how confusing our language can be when students are learning to read and write. There are so many homophones, homographs, and multiple meanings for the same words, that it can confuse even the most well-read individual, at times.

I created this set of 222 most commonly confused words with religious schools and homeschoolers in mind.  

One way to use this product would be for the teacher to use them as a border around the classroom.  With full-color photographs, chosen to help illustrate each sentence, it is a teaching tool that can build your student's faith, while teaching them how to use the words appropriately in their writing and comprehension, during reading.

Another way to use these would be to create a classroom reference binder that would allow the students to access them when needed.  This would also work well for private tutors or homeschooling families.  This is my preferred way to use these.  I just printed them, laminated them, and placed them in a three-ring binder.  I can take them out as needed and have them available to use wherever I am working with students.

Another way to use this product would be to create a "Commonly Confused Words" bulletin board in your classroom, where you display the words you are working on each week or month.

Having students create interactive notebooks, using these posters would be a great way for middle school students to practice using the concepts learned.  Simply give a new poster to your students each day.  Have them glue it into their composition notebook.  On the next page, they can practice coming up with sentences that use those words correctly.

This product is available for purchase on my Teachers Pay Teachers store.  If you purchase it and decorate your classroom, make a reference binder, decorate a bulletin board, or use it in any way, I would love to see pictures of how you use it and hear about how this product has benefitted you.
