Couldn't you have gone all the way with:
"there, their, they're, its awl write know"
"awl" and "know" are probably stretching it, but using the possessive "its" certainly brings it home for me.
I once came across a short essay extolling the benefits of spell-check that used nothing but homonyms...
@jrepka- Love it! The "awl" didn't even occur to me, and I remember pausing to make sure I was using the right form of it's, when I should have chosen the wrong form. I think I've seen that essay too.
