Description
The writing with homophones worksheet gives third graders practice with words that sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things. Homophones like there, their and they’re trip up even strong readers, because the ear cannot tell them apart. The only way to choose the right one is to think about what the sentence means. When children practice picking the correct spelling and then write sentences of their own, they start to catch these mix-ups in their own writing.
This printable uses five groups of three homophones: there, their and they’re; by, bye and buy; rain, reign and rein; cent, scent and sent; and to, two and too. For each group, students read a sentence with a blank, choose the one word from the group that fits, and write it on the line. Then they use a different word from the same group in a sentence of their own on the writing line below. The answer key shows the correct word for every blank and a sample sentence for each group, since the students’ own sentences will vary.
What’s Included
- Five homophone groups with three words each
- Five fill-in sentences, each with one correct answer
- Five full writing lines for students’ own sentences
- An answer key with sample sentences
- A print-ready PDF sized for standard letter paper
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Choosing between three spellings makes students read the whole sentence for meaning instead of guessing by sound.
- Writing a new sentence with a second word from the group shows that the child really knows the difference, not just the answer.
- Practicing common trios like to, two and too cuts down on the spelling mistakes teachers see most often in student writing.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, say each group out loud and ask students to explain what each word means. After the page is done, have partners read their own sentences to each other and check that the right spelling was used. You can also turn the groups into a quick game: say a sentence out loud and have students hold up a card with the word they would write. This third grade homophones worksheet works well as morning work or a writing center, and the writing with homophones worksheet makes a handy review before a spelling or grammar test.
