Homophones!
http://pbskids.org/lions/videos/homophones.html
Homonyms (also called homophones) are words that sound like one
another but have different meanings.
Some homonyms are spelled the same, like bark (the sound a dog makes)
and bark (the outer layer of a tree trunk). Some homonyms are spelled
differently, like one (the number) and won (having been victorious).
