This advanced Grade 3 worksheet focuses on homographs, words spelled the same but with different meanings, such as bat, bark, lead, and tear. Students answer four multiple choice questions using context clues and complete five fill-in-the-blank sentences that require picking the correct meaning. Grade 3 learners deepen vocabulary and improve their ability to read for meaning in rich, challenging sentence contexts.
