At the top of every dictionary page are two guide words in bold. The first is the first word on that page, and the second is the last. Every word in between, in alphabet order, can be found on that page. Guide words save time: instead of reading the whole dictionary, a child can flip to the page where the word belongs and check only the guide words. This worksheet gives eight pairs of guide words, and for each pair three words.
Only one falls between the guide words in alphabet order, and the child circles it. Ask your child to say the alphabet and the two guide words, then check the first letter of each word, and the second letter when the first letters match. A word that comes before the first guide word or after the last one is on a different page.
