8th Grade Homophones and Homographs Practice Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Homophones and look alike words cause many of the spelling and word choice errors in student writing. There are 7 sheets for 8th grade here, all with answer keys. Each page gives a meaning box for four or five pairs, then sentences to complete, set on a mountain expedition, at a hospital, at a riding school or around a magic show. Pairs include hoard and horde, personal and personnel, emigrate and immigrate, allusion and illusion, and waver and waiver. Six of the sheets practice L.8.2.C.

Frequently Asked Questions

To waver is to be unsteady or unsure. A waiver is a form that gives up a right, like the one a parent signs for a riding school. Waver or Waiver and Other Pairs also covers faze and phase, pore and pour, and reign and rein.
