Homophone and Homograph Review

Have your child read each sentence aloud, especially on the homograph page, so they hear which sound fits. Keep a short list of the pairs they miss. Check with the answer key.

Circle the right homophone, like reign or council, then pick the meaning of each homograph. Homophones sound the same but differ in spelling and meaning. Homographs are spelled the same but differ in meaning. The directions on the page read: In Part A, circle the correct homophone. Then, in Part B, circle the letter of the meaning of each bold homograph. The page opens with a worked example, and the answer key shows every answer.

Yes, both. We made it for 5th Grade homophones and homographs, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Some homographs are spelled the same but said differently, like wind (moving air) and wind (to turn), or tear (crying) and tear (to rip). The sentence tells you which one to say. The sheet checks this by asking which word each one rhymes with.

Affect is usually the action (verb) and effect is usually the result (noun). A quick memory hook: A for action, E for end result. The word guide on the sheet gives each meaning.

Yes. All four homophones and homographs sheets have an answer key.
