This is a great resource for teaching and reinforcing homonyms. All directions are clear and the parts of the unit are easy to access. The first activity invites small groups of students to collaborate and create skits using homonyms. There are also worksheets for reading and writing practice. The assessment is clear and easy to use. An answer key would be easy to create, but one is not provided.
