DO YOU GET CONFUSED - SOMETIMES I DO

 

Here are some words that sound the same but have different meanings or words that are different and sometimes seem interchangable to the point that we are not sure which one to use.

If you can think of some others e-mail them to me at kidscorner@city.cleveland.oh.us and we will include them in our list. I look forward to hearing from all of you soon.
