Good Day! Class, This week we will learn to use resource such as Dictionary to find the meaning of words.
 Dictionary
 is made up of an entry words listed in alphabetical order.
 Each entry states how a word is pronounce and what the word means.
 Guide Words
 Two guide words are printed at the top of each dictionary page.
 Help us find words on that page after.
 Printed at the top of the left is the first word in the page while the guide word on the right is the last
word on the page.
 Entry Word
 A word, phrase, or name that is the subject of and heading for an entry in a dictionary.
 Parts of Speech
 There are 8 parts of speech in the English language: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb,
preposition, conjunction and interjection.
 The part of speech indicates how the word functions in meaning as well as grammatically within the
sentence.

Let us read a poem. Using Dictionary find the meaning of the underline word in the poem.
Smiling is Infectious
Smiling is infectious, You catch it like the flu,
When smiled at me today, I started smiling too,
I passed around the corner, and someone saw my grin
When he smiled I realized I’d passed it on to him,
I thought about that smile, then I realize its worth
A single smile just like mine could travel around the earth.
So if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected.
Let’s start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected.
