About this chart
Ten common homophone pairs with a clue for each meaning.
What kids practice
Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things, like sun and son or blue and blew. Kids need to know which spelling goes with which meaning to read and write them correctly.
Watch for
- Picking the spelling that looks most familiar instead of the one that fits the meaning.
- Mixing up to, two and too in writing.
- Writing right for write and here for hear.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full homophones guide for 2nd grade.
