If You Were an Antonym

Word Fun

by Nancy Loewen

If you were an antonym, you would mean the opposite of another word. You could be FAST or SLOW, HOT or COLD, or RIGHT or WRONG. What else could you be if you were an antonym?

I enoyed reading this book to a group of students working on antonynms. This book is more geared towards students who have already been introduced to antonyms and are learning more in-depth meanings of antonyms. The book explains meaning of specific antonyms such as "Complementary antonyms." The illustrations are fun for the students and match the meanings of the antonyms.

Need help introducing what an antonym is will here is the book to do just that! Students will get to ready about antonyms and how they word.
