Let’s solve this step by step.
We are matching homophones — words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. We’ll match each word on the left with its correct picture or partner word on the right.
First, let’s look at the words:
Left column:
- pair
- flour
- ate
- blew
Right column (in one worksheet):
- flower
- pear
- blue
- eight
Now, let’s match them based on sound:
1. “pair” sounds like “pear” → so pair ↔ pear
(Pair = two of something; Pear = fruit)
2. “flour” sounds like “flower” → so flour ↔ flower
(Flour = baking ingredient; Flower = plant part)
3. “ate” sounds like “eight” → so ate ↔ eight
(Ate = past tense of eat; Eight = number 8)
4. “blew” sounds like “blue” → so blew ↔ blue
(Blew = past tense of blow; Blue = color)
So the matches are:
- pair → pear
- flour → flower
- ate → eight
- blew → blue
If you’re coloring pictures, make sure to color:
- The shoes for “pair”
- The bag of flour for “flour”
- The plate with food for “ate”
- The wind/cloud for “blew”
And on the other side:
- The fruit for “pear”
- The flower for “flower”
- The number 8 for “eight”
- The color blue object (like sky or shirt) for “blue”
Final Answer:
pair ↔ pear
flour ↔ flower
ate ↔ eight
blew ↔ blue
