  3. VOCABULARY STRATEGYfor Unfamiliar Words DICTIONARY: You can always use a dictionary to find out the meaning of a word you don’t know. A dictionary tells you the word’s meaning and how to say the word. The words in a dictionary are listed in alphabetical order.

  4. Steps for Using a Dictionary • Look at the first letter in the word and turn in the dictionary to the section for that letter. • Use the guide words at the top of each page and what you know about the alphabet to help you find the word. • Read the definitions. If the word has more than one meaning, decide which meaning you think fits in the sentence. • Try that meaning in the sentence to see if it makes sense.

  5. I used a dictionary to find out the meaning of these words. • Enormous- greatly exceeding the common size, extent, etc.; huge; immense • Scattered- dispersed; disorganized • Strain- to stretch beyond the proper point or limit

  6. Realize- to grasp or understand clearly. • Collection- something that is collected; a group of objects or an amount of material accumulated in one location . • Shiny- bright or glossy in appearance.

  7. Let’s read Get Organizedand try out these word meanings. Are there enormous piles of stuff in your room? Are your things scattered everywhere? Is your closet clutter putting a strain on the door? Then it's time to take action!      First, realize that this will take time and work. Look at each thing. Ask yourself, "Do I use this? Will I ever use this?" This information will help you decide what to get rid of and what to keep. Take the things you are getting rid of. Put them in large trash bags. Are they in good shape? Give them away to a charity. If not, throw them out.

  8. Next, take the things you are keeping. Put them into groups. Put each group together in one place. Put all the books on a shelf or table. Hang the clothes in the closet or put them in drawers. Do you have a collectionof objects, such as rocks, postcards, or stamps? Display them together on a shelf,table, or wall.      Now vacuum and dust your room. Congratulations! You have a shiny, clean, and well-organized room.

  12. PHONICS COMPOUND WORDS Homework- home work What is the meaning of each smaller word? Home- the place where you live. Work- a task or job So what does homework mean? A task that you do in the place where you live.

  13. COMPOUND WORDS • A long word like earthquake seems hard at first, but when I look more closely, I see that earthquake is a compound word. That means it is made up of two shorter words, earth and quake. I know earth and I think quake means “shake,” so it’s easy to figure out that an earthquake is a movement of the ground.
