Spelling List 27: Homophones Worksheets for 4th Grade

What your child practices

List 27 is a 4th grade spelling list (Grade 4 in Canada) built around homophones, with 6 worksheets and 72 questions. By upper elementary, spelling depends on patterns, prefixes and suffixes as much as sounds, so each list groups words that share a pattern. The sheets cover Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. Each sheet supports Common Core L.4.2d, covering capital letters, punctuation and spelling. It also touches L.4.1g, using grammar correctly in writing and speaking. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 4. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. Finished a sheet? The online version reads every question aloud and checks answers instantly.

Tips for parents

• Have your child mark the part of each word that is tricky, then practice just that part.
• Let your child write tricky words in chalk, sand or shaving cream for a change of pace.
• Ask your child to sort the words by pattern and explain the rule they notice.
