Sound-Alikes Sorted: Common Homophones Worksheet for Class 4

This Grade 4 worksheet on Homophones is a fun and thoughtfully designed grammar resource that helps young learners understand one of the trickiest aspects of the English language — words that sound the same but have completely different meanings and spellings. Designed for Class 4 students, this worksheet builds vocabulary precision, reading comprehension, and writing accuracy through five engaging, age-appropriate exercises.

Why Do Homophones Matter in Grammar?

Homophones are words that share the same pronunciation but differ in spelling and meaning — like "sea" and "see," or "write" and "right." For Grade 4 learners, mastering homophones is essential because:

1. They appear frequently in everyday reading and writing.
2. Confusing homophones leads to spelling and meaning errors in sentences.
3. Understanding them sharpens a child's ability to choose the right word in context.
4. They build a stronger vocabulary and boost confidence in written communication.

What's Inside This Worksheet?

This worksheet includes five carefully structured activities that progressively build a student's understanding of common homophones:

Exercise 1 – Match the Following
Students match each word on the left to its correct homophone on the right. Word pairs include see/sea, blue/blew, right/write, one/won, here/hear, flour/flower, pair/pear, son/sun, meet/meat, and week/weak. This activity helps students recognize homophone pairs visually and build their word knowledge.

Exercise 2 – Sort the Words
Students are given a mix of word pairs and must sort them into two columns — Homophones and Non-Homophones. This classification task develops critical thinking and teaches students to distinguish true homophones from words that are merely similar or opposite in meaning.

Exercise 3 – Fill in the Blanks
Students choose the correct homophone from a given pair to complete each sentence meaningfully. With context-rich sentences, this exercise trains students to use surrounding clues to select the right word — a vital reading and writing skill.

Exercise 4 – Multiple Choice Questions
Students pick the correct homophone from four options to complete each sentence. This format mirrors school exam patterns and helps students identify correct spellings and meanings under slightly more challenging conditions.

Exercise 5 – Sentence Rewriting
Each sentence contains an incorrectly used homophone. Students must identify the error and rewrite the sentence using the correct word. This exercise reinforces proofreading skills and helps students apply their homophone knowledge in real writing contexts.
