Six pages: two of words to put in ABC order by the second letter, guide word questions, a dictionary page with questions, a page on choosing the right meaning and one on spellings.
Open a class dictionary to any page and read the guide words aloud. Ask students to name a word that would be on the page and one that would not.
When your child asks how to spell a word, look it up together and point out the guide words at the top.
How a dictionary works, on pages of our own: ABC order to the second letter, guide words, entries with more than one meaning and parts of speech. Students order words, decide what is on a page, pick the meaning a sentence uses and check spellings.
