What children learn in Level 21

Some words have more than one meaning. A bat can be a flying animal or a club for hitting a ball!
The other words in the sentence tell you which meaning fits. Kai swung the bat and hit the ball. That's the club!
A dictionary numbers the meanings. Try each one in the sentence to find the one that fits.
Homographs are spelled the same but said two different ways. Read these two sentences.
In the first sentence, wind is moving air. In the second, it rhymes with find, and it means to turn. Read the whole sentence before you decide how to say the word.
