Double Meaning Fill

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 to strengthen vocabulary comprehension and critical thinking by exploring words with multiple meanings. Students examine pairs of sentences and determine a single word that correctly completes both blanks, even though the word carries a different meaning in each context.
