In this Grade 5 medium worksheet, students practice homophones knight, night, reel, and real using nine fill-in-the-blank items and a definition-matching exercise. Grade 5 learners interpret context clues to decide which sound-alike spelling fits each sentence precisely. The activities support CCSS L.5.5 vocabulary instruction, and the hints encourage students to anchor each word to its dictionary meaning rather than guessing based on sound alone.
