Review of “45 Frequently Confused Homonyms for Students and Writers”

“45 Frequently Confused Homonyms for Students and Writers” as its name suggests, discusses homonyms, also called homophones – words that sound the same but that have different spellings and different meanings. This book lists the words in alphabetical order and gives their meanings.

It’s a great little reference book for teaching students spelling and vocabulary skills. It is also great for writers who find themselves wondering which word to choose. It could even be of use to those who speak English as a second language and need clarification on word usage.

This is another book that does not need to be read cover-to-cover. It is set up to be a reference , much like a dictionary or thesaurus. It is available only in Kindle format from Amazon.
