Fun With Words: The ABC's of Heteronyms & Homonyms

In "Fun With Words" artist Dawn Mattson and author Jim Peacock team up to create an adventure exploring words. It's an entertaining opportunity for young readers to learn - and for parents and grandparents to share learning experiences with kids and grandkids while building positive personal relationships. Aunt and Ant are two words that sound the same, but one is a lady relative and the other is an insect. Say what? Homonyms are words that sound the same but may be spelled differently and have different meanings. Have you ever been Chilly while eating a bowl of Chili? Have you ever ridden a Hoarse Horse? Have you imagined a Bare Bear? Other words, spelled the same but with different meanings, are called Heteronyms. Iron is an appliance to make fabric smooth, and it's also a name for a golf club. Have you ever been Cool as opposed to warm? Have you worn a Cool T-shirt? Fire up your imagination with your own word games as we travel A to Z with two curious sisters, Hallie and Zoey.
