Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Remember, homophones sound the same but have different meanings and spellings (like 'to' and 'too'). Homographs are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations (like 'bat' the animal and 'bat' for baseball).

Circle the correct homophone to complete each sentence.

1. I like to eat (pear/pair) with cheese.

2. My cat has a long (tail/tale).

3. Can you (see/sea) the boat?

4. We went (to/too/two) the park.

Read each sentence. The underlined word is a homograph. Write two different meanings for each underlined word.

1. The baseball player hit the ball with a wooden bat.
