Using Antonyms to Guess Meaning

This worksheet will help students improve their ability to use context clues to guess the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary. In this worksheet, students will use antonyms or groups of words that have the opposite meaning of the word being studied to guess the meaning of each vocabulary word.  While this is primarily a reading skill, these exercises will also help students build their vocabulary. This worksheet is suitable for Grades 5-8.
