What's Inside
I love to search for opposites. See if you can rap the opposites!
Children practice opposites, antonyms, and grammar in a short, playful format. The book gives young readers a simple way to hear how words can mean the reverse of each other.
It fits well with early language lessons in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. Use it to practice talking, listening, and naming word pairs aloud.
