Word Double-Take Answer Key

In this worksheet, students read a short passage and underline words that have more than one meaning, known as homographs. Afterward, they answer comprehension questions that encourage them to explain how context changes the meaning of each word. Learners analyze examples like duck, watch, and row, discussing how meaning shifts depending on sentence use. The activity builds inferencing skills and strengthens vocabulary through contextual reasoning. Students also practice metacognitive reading as they reflect on how authors use multiple-meaning words to create richer text.
