Choose the Correct Homophone

Have your child read each sentence aloud and say what the word should mean before choosing. Keep a list of the pairs they miss and post it near where they do homework. Check with the answer key.

Circle the homophone that fits each sentence, like its or it's and weather or whether. Homophones sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. Words like they're are short for two words: they're means they are. The directions on the page read: Read each sentence. Then, circle the homophone that makes sense. The page opens with a worked example, and the answer key shows every answer.

Yes, both. We made it for 4th 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.

Homophones sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things, like sea and see. Homographs are spelled the same but have different meanings, like present (a gift) and present (to show).

Try the swap test. If they are fits, write they're. If it shows belonging, write their. If it names a place, write there, which has the word here inside it. The there, their and they're sheet gives ten sentences to practice the test.

CCSS L.4.1.G asks 4th graders to correctly use frequently confused words such as to, too and two or there and their.

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