This class has a self-paced (flexible) schedule. All lessons are pre-recorded. There are no live meetings. Each week, learners will watch a mini-lesson video that will teach 4 sets of commonly confused words. Some of them are homophones, and some are just similar words. Learners will receive 4 worksheets each week that will provide practice for each of the word sets. Answer keys will be provided for each worksheet for learners to check their work. I will answer questions and provide personalized feedback if requested or needed. By the end of the course, learners will have mastered 16 different sets of words. Week 1: their, they’re, there; too, two, to; you’re, your; than, then Week 2: apart, a part; affect, effect; poor, pour, pore; desert, dessert Week 3: piece, peace; anyway, any way; plane, plain; quiet, quite Week 4: here, hear; less, fewer; break, brake; accept, except
