Colorful Opposites

Students read a lively paragraph about a playful kitten and dog, using **color-coding*to identify and mark each antonym pair within the text (e.g., *big / small*, *hot / cool*, *fast / slow*). This engaging, hands-on approach fuses reading comprehension with visual learning, supporting multiple learning styles. By contextualizing antonyms within a story, the activity reinforces word recognition, contrast comprehension, and text engagement. Learners develop attention to descriptive detail and tone while making abstract language relationships concrete and visual.
