Homophone Affect Drop
Affect vs. Effect
Affect vs. Effect is an interactive grammar activity that helps students practice one of the most commonly confused word pairs in upper elementary writing. Students read a sentence and drag the correct word into place, using context to guide their choice.
This activity focuses on the most common usage: affect as a verb meaning to influence, and effect as a noun meaning the result. Clear, sentence-based examples help students understand how each word works and apply it correctly in their own writing.
Designed for Grades 4–6, this tool supports grammar instruction, proofreading skills, and writing development. The simple drag-and-drop format keeps students focused on meaning rather than memorization, making it ideal for writing centers, small-group practice, and independent review.
