Sound Slip Fix Answer Key

In this worksheet, students edit a humorous “published” paragraph filled with incorrectly used homophones. They must first identify each wrong word by circling or underlining it and then rewrite the passage correctly so that all words make sense in context. Words like knew/new, kneaded/needed, and mourning/morning appear to challenge students’ understanding of spelling and meaning. This activity develops editing, proofreading, and vocabulary differentiation skills, reinforcing how sound-alike words can change the entire meaning of a text.
