Homophones Nonsense Passage to Convert Worksheet KS2

This worksheet is a funny short story that has been written using the incorrect homophones. There is enough tasks and teaching points here to last 2 lessons minimum as each task can take quite a long time. If you were to use this worksheet to help improve the use of a dictionary then you could perhaps stretch the worksheet into 3 lessons of 45 minutes. As always, the preview makes the worksheet look poorly presented, but once downloaded I hope you agree it looks much better.

Task 1 - The challenge for the children to first find the incorrect homophones and convert them into the correct homophones. Secondly, the children will write the proper version using the correct homophones in their exercise book (a dictionary could be used here).

Task 2 - the children will use some of the common homophones (which is provided on the worksheet) to write their own nonsense passage using incorrect homophones.

Task 3 - children will ask a friend to convert their nonsense passage into a passage with the correct homophones.

Task 4 - Could even be some peer assessment. Each child checks each other’s work and makes sure that no homophones have been mist (or should I say missed).
