 A Wonderful Book
Mary Jane T. Ganggangan

One afternoon, Jan and Christine were busy doing their

assignment.
Christine: Kuya Jan, will you please help me with my assignment?
Jan: Sure, what is it, Christine?
Christine: Our teacher in Math gave us some words and we have
to give their meaning.
The words are multiplier, product, dividend, and quotient.
Jan: That’s easy. A dictionary will help us find the meaning of
those words.
Christine: How do we use a dictionary? There are a lot of
words written in it.
Jan: You have to remember this Christine, the words
listed in the dictionary are called entry words. All the
entry words are listed in alphabetical order and in
dark print.
Christine: But there are still hundreds of words under a letter.
Jan: In every page of the dictionary, you will find two words
on top to help you find the words faster. These are called
guide words. Come, I’ll show you how to do it.
Christine: Thank you so much, brother. Now I know that a
dictionary is a useful book!

Dictionary
Mary Jane T. Ganggangan
Often times I wonder why,
Words are so complicated. Oh, my!
They have the same spelling
But have different meanings.

But I have a very special friend

That can help me until the end,
A wonderful book that you should see
Please meet my friend, the Dictionary!
