Tricky Homophones Practice

Year 3 EnglishSpelling5 pages

About this worksheet

Five pages of Year 3 homophone practice. Pupils first join words such as brake, grate, mane and knot to matching pictures. They then match eight homophones, like weather and whether or heel and heal, to their meanings. A third task has them choose between pairs such as groan and grown or piece and peace to finish six sentences. A stretch task asks for two sentences with their and there. The answer key covers every match, and the sheet follows the England National Curriculum objective on homophones.
