Description
Description
Two words, one sound… can you match them?
Homophones trip up even confident readers and spellers. Word Twins turns them into a matching game kids beg to play.
Children hunt for 24 homophone pairs: words that sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things. Every match sticks the spelling and the meaning in their memory, which makes their writing stronger.
The pack has different games, so it never gets old. Play Go Fish, Snap, Match or Charades, where kids act out the word without saying it. Add the game-changing Robber Alert card, which lets you steal a card from another player, for extra fun.
