Homograph Practice is an engaging language arts resource designed to enhance students' understanding of words that share the same spelling but have different meanings and sometimes pronunciations. This interactive and printable worksheet presents ten sentences, each containing an underlined homograph. Students are challenged to determine the correct meaning of the homograph based on the context of the sentence, choosing between two possible definitions.
The worksheet covers a diverse range of homographs, including words like "lead," "wind," "dove," and "present." By engaging with these sentences, students develop their ability to use context clues effectively and recognize how a single word can have multiple meanings. This exercise not only improves vocabulary skills but also enhances reading comprehension and critical thinking abilities. As students work through each sentence, they are encouraged to consider the surrounding words and overall sentence meaning to select the appropriate definition, reinforcing the importance of context in understanding language.
