Do you, your students or children use a dictionary as often as they should?

Are you, your students or children more confused after attempting to use a dictionary.

The basics of how to use a dictionary can be taught and should be! All of the basics needed to understand most dictionaries are taught. Plus, this book teaches the reader techniques on how to fully understand a word and all if it's meanings. Even if you or your students or children already know some of the data in this book they could vastly improve their ability to use a dictionary from just learning a few of the many basic concepts taught in this book.



This extensively illustrated book starts off simply by explaining what a word is. It explains:

  • how words are defined in a dictionary
  • how to use a dictionary to understand words.


This book has drills where students can work in pairs to help each other. For a teacher or parent we recommend the How to Use a Dictionary Teacher Manual. The teacher manual has additional data to help the parent and has additional data for the teacher who wants to communicate this information in a classroom-lecture environment..

There are drills on:

What someone had to say after taking a course based on this book


"In the course 'How to Use a Dictionary', I learned a lot of things like marks and symbols, parts of speech and actually how to use a dictionary, how to find a word fast using the alphabet and the guide words. There is a lot of things that I learned that I can't remember right [now] but I know that I'll remember it later and I won't forget because I know I'll use it later in life. Thanks to World Literacy Crusade now I know a lot of things that I didn't know." M.G.
