Product description
From the author
This " Homograph and Multiple Meaning Words Activity Packet and Worksheets " is a fun packet of no prep activities for homographs, homonyms and multiple meaning words. These printables are great for improving phonics skills, spelling, grammar, reading comprehension, and writing with words that are spelled the same but have different meanings.
These activities are designed for kids at differing levels in First Grade, Second Grade, Third Grade or Fourth Grade. Please note that not all activities in this packet will meet your class' particular levels, but there should be enough variation in the resources from your high flyers to those that are more challenged.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Recognize that the same spelling can represent different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations.
Use sentence context to choose the intended meaning.
Write sentences that use different meanings of the same word.
Teaching tips
Introduce the two anchor charts side by side, since the packet's later worksheets deliberately mix homograph tasks (e.g. Homograph Sentences) with multiple-meaning-word tasks (e.g. Multiple Meaning Word Sentences) that rely on the distinction being clear first.
Use the picture-and-word flashcards for a quick matching or memory game before assigning the more structured sentence and definition worksheets.
Use homograph broadly for words with the same spelling and different meanings; different pronunciation is possible, not required. The packet uses homograph mainly for the different-pronunciation examples.
Skills covered
Recognizing shared spellings with different meanings
