To, too, and two share this 4th grade grammar check with your and you're, and there, their, and they're. Over four pages, students circle the right word in five sentences, write the right homophone in five more, then proofread a birthday party invitation with four mistakes. The sheet practices L.4.1.g. The answer key lists all fourteen answers, and notes that the invitation mistakes can go in any order.
L.4.1.g
“Correctly use frequently confused words (e.g., to, too, two; there, their).*”
All fourteen items test to, too, two, your, you're, there, their, and they're, ending with the proofreading task where students fix mistakes in context.
Students circle the correct word in five sentences, such as "That slide looks like fun. Can I go down, ( to / too / two )?"
Students write the right homophone in five sentences, from "She picked _____ bright red apples" to "The water was a little _____ cold for swimming."
A birthday invitation contains four errors, starting with "Your invited." Students list each mistake and its correction in a table.
Quick check
Sections 1 and 2 take about ten minutes. Question 9, "right over _____," shows who knows that there can point to a place.
Proofreading practice
Read the invitation aloud first. Students hear that it sounds fine, which is the point: they have to look at the words, not listen for them.
Word wall
Post the three sets of words with one sample sentence each from the sheet. Students check the wall before they turn in any written work that week.
