Double Meaning Makeover

This worksheet supports students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 as they strengthen vocabulary knowledge, sentence construction, contextual reasoning, and creative writing skills through hands-on work with homographs. By rewriting sentences to show a word’s alternate meaning, learners practice flexible thinking, semantic precision, and syntactic control while actively applying word knowledge in new contexts.
