🎯 My Learning Goal

I can... identify antonyms (opposite words) and use them correctly in sentences.

✅ Success Criteria — I know I am successful when I can:

📖 What Is an Antonym?

An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word.

Examples:

🔆 hot ↔ cold     😊 happy ↔ sad     🌞 day ↔ night

Tip: When you see a word, ask yourself — "What is the complete opposite of this?"

🔗 Part 1: Matching Antonyms

Instructions: Draw a line to match each word on the left with its antonym (opposite) on the right. The first one is done for you as an example.

Dyslexia Tip: Read each word out loud before you match it. Say the word and think — "What is the opposite?"

✏️ Part 2: Fill in the Blank

Instructions: Choose the correct antonym from the Word Bank below to complete each sentence. Write the word in the blank.

📦 Word Bank:   difficult  |  remembered  |  arrived  |  enemy  |  shrinks

📝 Part 3: Write Your Own Antonyms

Instructions: Write one antonym for each word below. There may be more than one correct answer — trust your thinking!

Tip: If you are unsure, try using the word in a sentence and then think of the opposite meaning.

🔵 Extension Activity (If you finish early):

Choose 3 antonym pairs from this worksheet. Write a short paragraph (4–6 sentences) using all 3 pairs. Try to make the paragraph tell a mini story!

📌 Dyslexia-Friendly Reminders:

✔ Read each question one at a time — cover the others with your hand or a ruler if it helps.

✔ It is okay to write in pencil and erase.

✔ Take breaks when needed — focus for 10 minutes, then take a short pause.

✔ Ask your teacher to read questions aloud if reading feels tiring today.
