Find the opportunity
to show young children opposites: hot/cold, wet/dry, in/out,
happy/sad, under/over, behind/above, and left/right. Talk
about opposites, “My hair is dry while yours is wet,
they are opposite of each other.”
Find the opportunity
to show young children directions. Point out to a child
where familiar items are located: “The book is on
the table.”, “The dog is on his bed.”
On car or bus rides point out road signs or landmarks.
Public
Libraries offer great books on opposites and directions.

children’s sections with toys, computers, storytimes,
and special events. They lend a variety of FREE and reduced-price
