Mailbox Mix-Up: Multiple-Meaning Words

Master multiple-meaning words with this helpful worksheet! Homographs are words that have more than one meaning, such as fly and light. Students will need to use context clues to determine the meaning of the underlined homograph in each sentence. There are eight sentences in all, each themed around mail!

This practice will allow first and second to see how a word’s meaning can change based on its context and whether it’s used as a noun, adjective, or verb. Homographs can be tricky for young readers, but as students develop their vocabularies, they will be able to identify and define these words correctly.

For extra vocabulary practice, try Homophone Pairs and Fill in the Blank: Double Consonants.
