Some homophones are tricky because one word has a silent letter. Children learn pairs such as know and no, knew and new, whole and hole, where and wear, and knot and not. They choose the right word for each sentence, find the silent letter, correct mistakes in a short note and write sentences that show the meaning of each word.
