Homophones Worksheet: Choose the Correct Word
Homophones can be sneaky. They sound the same, but they don’t mean the same, and they’re often spelled differently, too. That’s why kids might mix up words like pair/pear or quiet/quite, even when they’re strong readers.
This homophones worksheet gives students a simple way to practice. Each item shows two homophones in a word box, and students choose the word that makes sense in the sentence.
