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.
