Their There They're, Your You're, Its It's: The 24 Words Spell Check Never Catches

By Micah's Learning Resources

Every word in this resource is spelled correctly, and that is exactly the problem. "Their" and "there" are both perfectly real words, so nothing flags the wrong one and the error rides all the way into the final draft. This interactive digital activity drills the 24 choices students have to make by meaning alone. What's Included: - 24 entries, each with a plain-language definition, an example in context, and a tip for choosing correctly under pressure - their, there, they're, your, you're, its, it's, than, then, affect, effect, accept, except, who's, whose, to, too, two, lose, loose, farther and further, well and good, fewer and less, lay and lie - 8 rounds and 160 short phrases. The target word changes each round and students select only the phrases that use it correctly. Wrong picks flash red and stay in play, so guessing does not get anyone to the end of a round - 30 fill-in-the-sentence questions that reveal the reasoning behind the right answer as soon as a choice is locked in - 5 short stories (The Lost Puppy, The School Play, The Camping Trip, The Science Fair, The Talent Show) seeded with wrong-word errors for students to hunt down and click to fix - Four header dots, one per mode, that light up as students finish each section Best For: Editing and revision units, standardized test review, bell ringers, independent practice, and sub plans. Grades 4-9. How to Use: Download the single HTML file and open it in any modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). No in
