Dictionary Skills

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Now this is a cool dictionary focused resource. There are 6 worksheets you can make into a homework packet for the entire week. Learners choose 10 words (these should be spelling words) they draw an image for each word, put the words in ABC order, and use each word in a sentence. I would use this packet on a monthly basis, as homework or to have handy for early finishers.
