About this resource
Description
Many English words have more than one meaning, and strong readers use context clues to figure out which meaning a writer intends. This multiple meanings sentences worksheet gives 4th grade students focused practice with words like pass, pound, key, ruler, grade, and rung, so they learn to read the whole sentence before deciding what a word means.
About This Worksheet
In Part A, students study two printed meanings for each bold word, read two sentences, and write the letter of the meaning the writer is using. In Part B, students choose one word from a word box that makes sense in both sentences of a pair, which shows them that a single spelling can carry two very different ideas. Use it as a quick lesson check, a literacy center, homework, or a review before a vocabulary test.
What’s Included
- One printable multiple meanings worksheet for 4th grade
- Part A: six context-clue sentences with two meanings to choose from
- Part B: three sentence pairs with a word box
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- It builds the habit of using context clues to choose the right meaning of a word.
- It grows vocabulary by showing that one word can name a thing, an action, or an idea.
- It strengthens reading comprehension, because students must think about every sentence instead of guessing from the first word.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
After students finish the multiple meanings sentences worksheet, ask them to write a new pair of sentences for one of the six words that shows both meanings. You can also start a class chart of multiple-meaning words and add to it whenever a student spots one in a book. This 4th grade vocabulary worksheet pairs well with dictionary practice, since students can check each meaning they chose against a real definition.
