Have you ever thought of your body as a component of opposites? What does your body’s parts have to do with learning to read? From head to toes most of your body parts have two opposing body parts. You have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, two sets of teeth in one jaw. You can go down your body with pairs for shoulders, elbows, arms, hands, fingers, legs, hips, ankles, feet and toes. Not only are your visible features opposite, you have opposite internal organs: two adrenal glands, two lungs, two heart ventricles, two breasts, two kidneys, two ovaries, two testicles, and two nervous systems. Our body functions in pairs. With this shared, one of the basic components of language is to form and develop vocabulary with opposite word pairs.
