Dictionary Work

In literacy we have been learning about dictionaries. The children have been very keen to look up new words or words that they don't know how to spell. The class took some time to look through a dictionary and explore. The children saw that the words were in alphabetical order. We then played a learning game where I told the children a word and they used their own dictionary to find it. The children really liked this "Can you find a word?" game. After we looked at the dictionaries we found three words from the dictionary and listed them in alphabetical order. This was a really fun and interesting lesson.
