Dictionary Work

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Here is a handy one-pager useful for any spelling work. Learners write 10 words from their spelling lists in the first column. They find them in the dictionary and write the page number and guide words in the subsequent columns. I'd use it for the first page in a spelling journal or packet for each unit. Great practice with alphabetizing.
