Synonyms and antonyms are super important for understanding what you read. They help students figure out what words mean and the overall message in a text.

Why They Are Important:

1. Clarifying Meaning:

   • For example, if you see the word "happy," knowing that "joyful" or "elated" means the same thing can help you understand it even better.

2. Understanding Context:

   • Antonyms show differences between words. If a story talks about a "difficult" task, knowing that the opposite word "easy" exists helps you understand what kind of challenges are being described.

Building Your Vocabulary:

• Using synonyms and antonyms can improve how you speak every day.
• For instance, instead of saying "big" all the time, you could use words like "enormous," "vast," or "huge."

When you use these words while reading, it not only helps you understand better, but it also makes your vocabulary richer!
