Multiple Meaning Words Worksheets for 3rd and 4th Grade

What your child practices

These 6 worksheets for 3rd and 4th grade (Grades 3 to 4 in Canada) focus on Multiple Meaning Words, with 59 questions that build the skill step by step. Upper elementary writing asks for clear, correct sentences, and practicing Multiple Meaning Words on its own helps the skill show up in your child's everyday writing. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. Each sheet supports Common Core L.3.4a, covering working out the meaning of unknown words. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 3. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. Before printing, try the Multiple Meaning Words video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Ask your child to write two sentences of their own using the skill.
• Turn a mistake into a mini lesson: fix it together and write one new example.
• Have your child find one example of Multiple Meaning Words in a book you are already reading together.
