Unit 2 Lesson 4: Horrible Homophones

This week's words are: deer, dear, groan, grown, hear, here, new, knew, through. threw. The test will be on Thursday. These words are very confusing, so please help your child study.

When studying these words, please talk about the meanings of each word. There is a PowerPoint on my website to help with the meanings.
