Tricky Words Mat

Don’t let the tricky words trick you!

Tricky words are words that are difficult to spell or pronounce correctly or have multiple meanings, making them challenging to understand. We read them as they are. These are the non-phonetic words that cannot be sounded out. They require extra attention and practice to master. Examples of tricky words include homophones, such as “their,” “there,” and “they’re,” as well as words with irregular spellings, such as “receive,” “accommodation,” and “miscellaneous.” Additionally, words that have multiple meanings, such as “bank,” “pitch,” and “scale,” can also be considered tricky words as their meaning can change depending on the context in which they are used.
