Description
Their, there and they’re sound exactly the same and mean three completely different things, which is why they stay wrong in student writing long after the spelling test is over. The Their, There, They’re Fill in the Blank Homophones Worksheet attacks that head on: every item puts the three words inside a real sentence, where meaning — not sound — is the only thing that can tell them apart. Their shows ownership, there points to a place, and they’re is the short way of writing they are.
The page works in three steps that get harder as students go. Part A gives five fill-in-the-blank sentences, each printed with two of the three words underneath, so the child has to decide which one the sentence actually means. Part B moves from choosing to editing: three sentences each contain one wrong spelling that must be crossed out and corrected, which is the proofreading move a writer needs. Part C hands the words back to the student to compose an original sentence of their own. Use this 3rd grade homophones worksheet as a guided mini-lesson, as morning work, or as a quick check before a writing unit.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- Part A: 5 fill-in-the-blank sentences with a two-word choice under each blank
- Part B: 3 cross-out-and-correct sentences
- Part C: an original sentence written by the student, with a sample answer on the key
There are three reasons the Their, There, They’re Fill in the Blank Homophones Worksheet helps children learn this skill. First, the choice printed under each blank changes from item to item, so a student cannot fall into a pattern and has to read the sentence every single time. Second, the three tasks build on one another: recognizing the right word is easier than catching a wrong one, and catching a wrong one is easier than choosing correctly in your own writing, which is where the skill actually has to live. Third, the answer key makes the sheet self-checking, so a teacher can confirm five minutes of work in a few seconds and a parent can help without having to explain grammar rules first.
Teachers and parents can keep this going all week. Ask students to say the long form aloud — if they are fits, the answer is they’re, and if it does not, the word is one of the other two. Keep a class chart with a picture clue for each word: a hand holding something for their, an arrow pointing away for there, and two people plus a verb for they’re. Hunt for the three words in a chapter book and read the sentences out loud. Finish by having students proofread a partner’s writing for just these three words.
