Antonym Reversal Sentences

Pictures are age appropriate.

Task cards for developing vocabulary by requiring students to reform a sentence by using the antonym to a given word. Pictures are appropriate for students in later elementary to middle school.

Antonym Reversal Sentences

These are double sided task cards that require students to produce a second sentence using the the antonym for a given word provided in a sentence on the opposite side of the card. I made these for students in 4th to 7th grades who still benefit from pictures and struggle with vocabulary development. The cards are self correcting and can be used for independent work or activities. There are 40 double sided cards on 10 sheets. They are best if printed on cardstock. Each sheet has 4 cards with a front card and a back card side by side. Cut the horizontal lines and then fold on the vertical lines. This will create a double sided card which you can glue or laminate shut. The front card provides one sentences option and the back side provides the 2nd option using an antonym. Only one answer is provided although there may be more than one word that will work. A word list is also included. This product is to be bought and used by a single SLP for students on a caseload, for teachers in a single classroom, or by parents for a single household. It may be sent home as homework. It is not to be duplicated or dispersed in any other manner for resale. Reduced licensing is available for multiple purchases.
