Same Spelling, Different Sound

This interactive and printable worksheet focuses on helping students understand the concept of words that have the same spelling but different sounds. It presents a list of word pairs that are homophones, and students are encouraged to practice reading them aloud with a partner and create sentences using each word.

The worksheet reinforces the idea that while some words may look similar, they can have distinct pronunciations and meanings. By actively engaging with these word pairs and constructing sentences, students can enhance their reading comprehension, phonemic awareness, and vocabulary development.
