They're,there, their
By Susan

When I was younger I made up my own rhyme that I have been sharing with others ever since. It is obvious--really make a point of this--that they're is a contraction because of the apostrophe.
But the their and the there is sometimes confusing, so here's a little rhyme to help remember: t-h-e-i(r) means you take someone's pie--it always shows posession.
The last one, t-h-e-r-e is always the place to be--it always shows the location of something.
Read them with a rhythm and really stress the right words. I hope this helps. Please email me and let me know if it does.
