Vocabulary Strategy: (Pg. 70) Dictionary/Glossary Sometimes when you read, you come across a word you do not know. Youcan use a glossary or dictionary to find out the meaning of the word. A glossary is a list of important words in a book and their meanings. A dictionarylists all words, in alphabetical order, and gives their meanings, pronunciations, and other helpful information. Check the back of your book for a glossary. If there is no glossary, look up the word in a dictionary. Find the entry for the word. Dictionary entries are in alphabetical order. Read the pronunciation to yourself. Saying the word may help you recognize it. Read all the meanings given for the word. Choose the one that makes sense in your sentence. As you read “Island Survival,” use the glossary or a dictionary to find out the meanings of the vocabulary words.
