ENTRY WORDS: ALPHABETICAL ORDER

A

dictionary is a book you use to find out about words. It tells you how to spell words, how to pronounce words, how to use words, where words come from, and what words mean. To be able to use a dictionary, you must know the alphabet. All the words listed in the dictionary are called ENTRY WORDS. The entry words are listed in alphabetical order and printed in bold, dark letters. aard•vark (ärd’ värk’), n. A burrowing mammal of Africa having long claws and a long, sticky tongue with which it feeds on insects. The entry words are listed in alphabetical order so they are easier to find. Imagine that your dictionary is divided into three parts: The FRONT part has all the words from A thru G; the MIDDLE part has all the words from H thru Q; the BACK part has all the words from R thru Z.

A-G = Front

H-Q = Middle R-Z = Back

Look at the words below. If you were going to look up each word, which part of the dictionary would you turn to—front, middle,or back? Write the part on the line next to each word. 1.

All other words on the page come between these two words in alphabetical order. Here are two guide words — BULL and BUMP. Look at the list of words below.

Respelling: accent marks

J

ust when you think the dictionary can’t help you pronounce a word any more than it already has, you see another way it helps you—accent marks (’). The accent mark helps you by showing you on which syllable more emphasis (or force) should be put when saying a word. jag•uar (jag’ ˘ wär’), n. A large wild cat of tropical America similar to a leopard, having a coat of tawny fur spotted with black marks. Look at the respelling in the example above. The accent mark is on jag, which means you say that syllable with more force when saying the word jaguar. Use your dictionary to look at the respellings of the words below. Divide each word into syllables and put the accent mark on the correct syllable in each word. 1.
