Dictionaries are books that list all the words in
a language.
A dictionary is a type of index.
![Page 3: Dictionary Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5555d670d8b42aaf158b4f76/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
An index is an alphabetized list of names, places, or
subjects in a printed work, giving the
location or pages on which each item is
mentioned.

To make dictionaries
easier to use, the words are organized in alphabetical
order.

Let’s practice arranging these
words in alphabetical order.

Since there are so many words in a dictionary, guide words are used to help you locate a
word quickly.What are guide words?
![Page 8: Dictionary Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5555d670d8b42aaf158b4f76/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Guide words are found at the top of each page.
They tell you the first and last word that is found on
that page.

How do guide words help you
find a word quickly?
Instead of looking at each word on a page, which could take forever, you just look at
the guide words and then use what you know about
alphabetizing words to decide if your word would be
found on that page.
![Page 11: Dictionary Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5555d670d8b42aaf158b4f76/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Let’s pretend you are looking up the
word, science. First we would turn to the S
section
![Page 12: Dictionary Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5555d670d8b42aaf158b4f76/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Then you would use the guide
words and what you know about alphabetizing
words to decide the correct page in
the S section.

You would look at the guide words at
the top of each page and decide between which ones our word would come in
alphabetical order.

Let’s do that for the word science-
Which one of these pages
would contain the word science?
