Dictionary Activity Sheet and Additional Practice

Parents and Students,

    The following link is to a vocabulary activity sheet for students to work on.   In the classroom we are learning how to use the dictionary to improve background vocabulary knowledge.  It is a short (but very relevant) activity that will help them with their dictionary skills.

    This activity sheet is also meant to improve your dictionary skills.  However, it will test your knowledge even further, as some of these words are quite tricky!

Here is a really great video that shows how to find a word in the dictionary that you may not be able to spell. If you are unable to spell a word, finding its meaning in the dictionary can be challenging.  Therefore, this video, lasting for about two minutes, will hopefully help you get around not knowing how to spell a word when looking for it in the dictionary.
