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.
