KS2 spelling worksheet that helps Year 5 and Year 6 children spot and correct homophones used wrongly in a short story.
A short reminder defines homophones (words that sound the same but are spelt differently and mean different things), with a worked pair flower and flour. Children then read a king-and-dragon story riddled with deliberate homophone errors (including tail for tale, rain for reign, sow for so, plaice for place, wood for would, no for know, grate for great, eye for I, fined for find, sun for son, waist for waste, bean for been, sea for see, ate for eight, here for hear, nights for knights, won for one, pear for pair, meat for meet, new for knew, weight for wait and deer for dear). They cross out each error and write the correct spelling above it.
Useful for KS2 SATs spelling revision, classroom intervention or homework on homophones. Find more spelling practice in our spelling and punctuation worksheets for KS2 ages 9 to 11. Printable PDF, A4, downloads instantly after purchase.
