A. Same spelling + same sound (most common in Grade 3)

• bat (animal) / bat (sports stick)

B. Same spelling + different sound (harder)

• tear / tear (two different sounds, two meanings)

3. How to figure out the meaning

1. Look at the whole sentence.
2. Check the words around it (clues).
3. Ask: “Is it a thing, an action, or a time/number?”

• bat = an animal / a sports stick
• ring = a piece of jewelry / the sound a phone makes
• match = a game / a small stick to make fire
• down = not up / soft feathers
• foot = a body part / a unit of length
• second = after first / a time unit
• tear = water from eyes / to rip
