What I Need to Know
This module will assist you in encouraging the learners to recognize and
use the words that spelled the same but have different meanings.
Please help the learners in sharing their ideas and knowledge from this
lesson so that there will be collaboration and learning will be easy.
Answers are written at the back of this module. Inculcate to the learners
the value of honesty while answering this module.
For the learner
Every human being is unique. We have similarities and differences. Some of
the words that we use in oral or written communication have these, too.
Some words have several meanings. The meaning of a word depends on the
context that is how the word is used in the sentence.
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. define homographs;
2. complete sentences using homographs; and
3. recognize homographs through context clues.
What I Know
Encircle the homographs in the sentences. Use the pictures as your guide.
1. My daughter gave me a wrist watch.
2. Carlo’s favourite game is dove racing.
3. He exchanged the big tire from the small one.
4. The wind is blowing gently.
5. Chandi saw a bat in our nipa hut.

Lesson
2 Homographs
Homographs can be confusing to beginning readers. These homograph
activities provide the grade three readers with the opportunity to practice
reading, hearing, speaking, and writing homographs. Practice in recognizing,
understanding, and using homographs is beneficial to grade three learners.
What’s In
Check the box if the sentence tells something true about homographs.
1. Homographs are words that sound the same but aren’t spelled the same.
2. Homographs are words that are spelled the same and don’t sound the
same.
3. Homographs are words that have the same name.
4. Homographs are pronounced the same while others are pronounced
differently.
5. Homographs are words that have one spelling but more than one
meaning or more than one way in which the word is used.

What is It
Discussion
Say: During our picture matching activity, we learned that a word can have
more than one meaning. For example, the word bat can mean an animal that
flies at night or it can mean a piece of wood used for hitting the ball in games
such as baseball and table tennis. Another example is the word rose, which
mean a prickly bush or shrub that typically bears flowers or a past tense of rise.
If a word can mean more than one thing, how do we know which of the
meanings is supposed to be used when we read it in a text?
You will know this by doing some worthwhile activities.
