This is an opportunity for you to play along and hone your homonym skills! In a homonym game presented by the childrens' television show "Zoom," several great examples of homonyms are offered. See how many you can guess as you watch.
For another homonym game presented by "Zoom" that offers more homonym practice, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgGpLfPEl2Q&feature=related or the "Grammar Basic: Synonyms" packet at http://sophiau.com/packets/1144.

"A mnemonic device is any learning technique that aids memory. Commonly, mnemonics are verbal—such as a very short poem or a special word used to help a person remember something—but may be visual, kinesthetic or auditory. Mnemonics rely on associations between easy-to-remember constructs which can be related back to the data that is to be remembered. This is based on the principle that the typical human mind much more easily remembers spatial, personal, surprising, sexual, humorous or otherwise meaningful information than arbitrary sequences."
So, when studying commonly confused homonyms, such as "to," "too," and "two," notice the differences between these words (visual differences, differences in meaning, definition, or context, etc.) and try to remember these differences by in a memorable, meaningful way as suggested above. This may be through a rhyme, or a song, or just a simple visualization.
