5th Grade Homophones and Homographs Worksheets

Ages 10-11 · 1 sub-topic · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

These homophones and homographs worksheets for 5th grade cover the trickier pairs older students still mix up. Students choose between homophones like principal and principle or stationary and stationery, decide how homographs like wind, lead and tear are said by circling a rhyming word, use a word guide to pick accept or except and affect or effect, and finish with a mixed review of homophones and homograph meanings. Four original sheets, each with an answer key, connect to CCSS L.5.5.C.
