Let's solve this
Phonics and Spelling worksheet step by step.

🔹 Part 1: Match the Homophones
Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.
We need to match each word on the left with its homophone on the right based on
sound, not meaning.
Let’s go through each one:
#### Left Side:
1.
hear → Sounds like "here"
✔ Match:
here
2.
flower → Sounds like "flour"
✔ Match:
flour
3.
buy → Sounds like "by" or "bye"
✔ Match:
bye (since "bye" is listed)
4.
knot → Sounds like "not"
✔ Match:
not
5.
won → Sounds like "one"
✔ Match:
one
6.
sun → Sounds like "son"
✔ Match:
son
7.
ant → Sounds like "aunt"
✔ Match:
aunt
8.
nose → Sounds like "knows"
✔ Match:
knows
---
✔ So, the correct matches are:
| Left Word | Matches With |
|----------|--------------|
| hear | here |
| flower | flour |
| buy | bye |
| knot | not |
| won | one |
| sun | son |
| ant | aunt |
| nose | knows |
> Note: The image shows a red "X" next to "not", which might be a visual clue to avoid confusion — but it doesn't mean it's incorrect. In fact,
knot and
not are homophones.

🔹 Part 2: Write a Homophone for Each Word
Now write a homophone for each given word.
1.
ant →
aunt
(They sound the same: /ænt/)
2.
ate →
eight
(Both pronounced /eɪt/)
3.
flour →
flower
(Both pronounced /ˈflaʊər/)
4.
knot →
not
(Both pronounced /nɒt/)
5.
hear →
here
(Both pronounced /hɪər/)
6.
right →
write
(Both pronounced /raɪt/)
> Note: Other possible homophones exist, but these are the most common and appropriate for this level.

✔ Final Answers:
#### Part 1: Matching

- flower → flour

#### Part 2: Write Homophones
