Year 4 Homophones Unit

Year 4 Homophones Unit teaches students to choose the correct homophone by reading for meaning, checking context and testing possible spellings.

This complete English unit provides a coherent week of explicit teaching, guided practice, games, reading, editing, writing and assessment.

The editable presentation introduces homophones and a practical four-step strategy before modelling common sets including there/their/they’re, your/you’re, to/too/two and where/wear/we’re. Colour displays, cards, sorting materials and a board game build oral reasoning and collaborative practice. Low-ink worksheets move students through supported choices, context clues, editing, reading comprehension and independent word study. Matching answer pages, a two-part mastery check and marking rubric support efficient review and assessment.
