Teaching Dictionary Skills

Teachers play an important role in aiding students "to help themselves" - one way of achieving this is to teach students to be efficient users of dictionaries and other reference works. This workbook provides practice in finding and understanding information in such books effectively. It also provides teachers with a wide range of insights into how different types of dictionaries may usefully be incorporated into the learning process. The reproducible exercises provide progressive instruction on topics such as alphabetizing, phonetic symbols, guide words, meanings, grammar, idioms, etc.
