Product description

From the author

Students can practice using the correct spelling of homophone words with this worksheet packet. This packet focuses on the homophones: no and know.

What are homophones?

Homophones are a pair of words that sound the same but are spelled differently. Words that are homophones can often be tricky for students to spell correctly since the spelling varies depending on the meaning of the word.

What is Included:

  • There is a poster page (available in color and in black in white) that shows the homophone, its part of speech, a sentence showing how it is used in a sentence, and a picture that illustrates the sentence.

  • One worksheet where students write in the correct homophone to complete each sentence.

  • One worksheet where students write in the correct homophone to complete the story.

  • One worksheet where students choose the correct word to complete each sentence and then they color in the color by code picture according to the answers of each sentence.

  • Answer keys for the 3 worksheets.

When to Use:

  • Literacy Activity - These worksheets make great practice for students learning these homophones.

  • Morning Work - These worksheets make great morning work for students who arrive to class early.

  • Homework - These worksheets are perfect to send home for students to practice homophones with their parents.

  • Sub Plans - The teacher can easily leave these worksheets for subs to assign to students.

These worksheets provide ample practice for students learning these homophones. With repeated practice distinguishing between words with the same sound and different spellings, students will master which form of the word to use in each sentence and become confident in using the correct word when writing their own sentences and stories.

These homophone worksheets are a no prep option for teachers to give to students. Teachers simply just need to print out the desired worksheet and give it to students to complete.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do all three worksheets use the same two words, or does the vocabulary expand?

All three worksheets stay on the same pair, know and no, across standalone sentences, a short narrative, and a color-by-code page, so the set is repeated focused practice on one confusable pair rather than a survey of several homophone sets.
