Sound-Alike Challenge: Homophones for Class 5 
 

This Grade 5 worksheet helps learners sharpen their understanding of homophones—words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Through sentence completion, correction tasks, story-building, and matching exercises, students practice how to correctly distinguish and apply homophones in reading and writing. 
 

Why Homophones Matter in Grammar? 
 

Learning homophones helps students: 
1. Avoid common spelling mistakes and confusions. 
2. Improve clarity in both written and spoken English. 
3. Strengthen vocabulary through word meaning awareness. 
4. Become better editors by spotting and fixing misuse. 
 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 
 

This worksheet includes five engaging activities with varied formats: 

🎯 Exercise 1 – Pick the Correct Word 
Students choose the correct homophone from two options in a sentence (e.g., *see* vs *sea*). 

✍️ Exercise 2 – Fill in the Blank 
Given a pair of homophones, learners insert the right word into each sentence (e.g., *write/right*, *sell/cell*). 

🚨 Exercise 3 – Spot the Error 
Each sentence includes an incorrectly used homophone; students must correct it (e.g., “I no the answer” → *know*). 

🧠 Exercise 4 – Match the Pairs 
A classic homophone matching game: learners connect words from Column A with their homophones in Column B (e.g., *meat – meet*). 

📖 Exercise 5 – Story Completion 
Students complete a short paragraph using correct homophones from a given word bank (e.g., *hare, tale, pair, tail*).
