Our Antonym Mix Up task is the perfect activity to assist your students in developing their vocabulary, which is essential in developing their comprehension! The science of reading has proven that teaching vocabulary and semantics concepts, such as antonyms, helps students to become more effective readers, especially when presented with challenging or complex texts.
When completing the Antonym Mix Up task, students will locate and record quotes from their set text. They will underline 3 or more descriptive words in the quote and replace them with antonyms that alter the meaning of the sentence.
