by giving us GUIDE WORDS!

Guide words: Located at the top of each dictionary page. These are the first and last word on the page.

Let’s say we want to look up the word
Step 1: We would turn to the “S” section of the dictionary
Step 2: we would flip through the “s” section and try to find the guide words that strong falls in between.
We use the second letter to guide us, if both of the guide words have an “ST” we then go to the third letter!
“STRONG”
LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK!

Alphabetical order
Before we continue with the guide words, let’s practice putting words in alphabetical order!!
If each word starts with a different letter, it is super easy! But, think about what if the words all start with same letter...
Apple, animal, ape, automobile, alarm

Apple, animal, ape, automobile, alarm
If all the words start with the same letter, we look at the second letter
If by chance the words have the same second letter, you move on to the third letter!!
Talk with your partner and see if you can come up with a list on your slate that puts those words in ABC order!
ALARM, ANIMAL, APE, APPLE, AUTOMOBILE
