About these homophones worksheets

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings: to, too and two; see and sea; right and write. Second graders meet them in their reading and need to choose the right spelling when they write.

These homophones worksheets start with a chart of common pairs, each in a sentence. Practice pages ask children to circle the homophone that fits a sentence, write the right homophone from a word bank, match homophone pairs (with lines or cut and paste), use picture clues, and write sentences that use both words of a pair.

Every page with right answers has an answer key.

Standards

  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.2.4.AUse sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.
  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.2.2.DGeneralize learned spelling patterns when writing words (e.g., cage → badge; boy → boil).

How to use them

  1. Start with the chart and read each sentence aloud.
  2. Do the choose pages next, reading the whole sentence before circling.
  3. Use the fill in page and the matching pages.
  4. Finish by writing sentences with both homophones.

Teaching tips

  • Meaning decides the spelling. Ask: what does this word mean here?
  • Memory tricks help: two has a w like twin; hear has an ear.
  • to, too and two is the trickiest set. Practice it often.
  • Keep a homophone list on the wall and add pairs as you find them.
