This was GREAT applied practice for learning about how dictionaries work and their usefulness in the classroom. It had a huge variety of activities that made sure they knew all the ins and outs of a dictionary. My students worked on these in groups and enjoyed competing with each other.
Lindsey Long –
It was an amazing resource and really helped my students get practice with dictionaries!
Hannah Demirdogen –
Dictionary skills are a forgotten skill with students on chromebooks daily. My students actually asked ‘When can we do this again?’ when I started using this resource with them. They loved the mystery hunts and challenge aspects of it. They didn’t even realize they were learning while completing the tasks!

I use this as practice using a dictionary. The students need to know how to look up words and what words come between the guide words.

My students found this resource engaging even though they weren’t keen to work on dictionary skills! It provided relevant practice and moved at a reasonable pace for my students. Will continue this using this resource once we return to the new school year.
