Free Year 3 Homophones: Words That Sound the Same Worksheet

Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and mean different things. Students practise the sets that cause the most mix-ups at this age: to/too/two, there/their/they're and hear/here, then work through sun/son, write/right, sea/see and more. Getting these right is one of the biggest spelling wins for Year 3 writers.
