A more functional way to teach synonyms and antonyms in language therapy

If you've ever struggled to make the skill of synonyms and antonyms more functional in language therapy, you're going to love this strategy.

It's called "semantic feature analysis".

Semantic feature analysis is a vocabulary-building strategy that builds storage and retrieval, boosts metalinguistic awareness skills, and teaches students to define and describe words in a way that’s EFFICIENT, and EFFECTIVE.

You probably already know that drilling word definitions isn't going to help your students with language disorders.

You also know you need activities that help kids not just learn ONE word, but that can help them become more aware of how words work so they can learn vocabulary independently.

That's what you'll be able to do with semantic feature analysis.

The best part? It's way more fun that doing more flashcard drills.
