What are some more weird words that are spelled the same but sound different (what is that called?).

One of my ds's vocabulary words this week is live. I don't know if he's pronouncing it correctly or not. I don't know if his teacher expects him to say live (as in to live) or live (as in "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!").:confused: No wonder my ds rolls his eyes at me when it's time to go over vocab words-I don't think he knows for sure if I can read the words the way they should be read.;)
 
Heteronyms!

If I'm right, I'm in the lead....

If I'm wrong, I'll sink like lead. :)
