Word Yard

Grown from Horsey Homophones: a detective agency for words, ending in a test you set for a grown-up.

Seven activities that turn a spelling puzzle into word detective work. Children sort out the homophones that catch everybody, build a wordsearch, invent memory tricks, find out where horse words come from, collect yard slang, write a paragraph full of traps and then set and mark a spelling test for an adult. Every activity has a harder strand for anybody who wants the stretch.
