Dictionary Skills
Children will often have trouble finding a word in the dictionary because they are looking up a word with its inflectional ending, not the base word itself. Teach your child to break down words that have inflectional endings; once they identify the base word, they can look it up in the dictionary. This process can help avoid unnecessary frustration!
