Train Goes Clickety-Clack by Jonathan London

April 19, 2008 on 7:07 am | In 2's and 3's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Books, Storytime Component, Vocabulary |

Our next book is on trains and has some words that are opposites. For example, the opposite of happy is  . . . sad, that’s right! The opposite of hot is . . . cold, right! As you listen to this book see if you notice words that are opposites.
Read the book all the way through. Then come back to the pages that have opposites (old, new; fast, slow; up, down). Read one set and ask, whatis the opposite of old?  NEW! and so forth.
Adults, talking about not only words but their relationships, like opposites, helps develop your child’s vocabulary.
