Find Words in a Picture Dictionary or a Glossary
- Where We Find Words
A picture dictionary is a book of words. The words are in ABC order. Each word has a picture and a meaning.
A glossary is a list of words at the back of a book. It tells what each word means.
We can find these on a computer or a tablet, too.
How to find a word
1. Say the word. Think of the letter it starts with.
2. The words are in ABC order. Go to the part for that letter.
3. Read the words there until we find our word.
4. Read the meaning. A picture can show what the word means.
1. Say the word: basket. It starts with the letter b.
2. The words are in ABC order. Go to the B b page.
3. Read the words on the page: baker, basket, bed. We found basket.
4. Read the meaning.
| B b |
 | baker a person who bakes bread and cakes |
 | basket something we use to hold things |
 | bed a thing we sleep on |
A basket is something we use to hold things. The picture shows a basket with two handles.
A glossary is in ABC order, like a dictionary. Each word has its meaning next to it.
Read each meaning. Look for a cloud that is close to the ground.
| Weather Words Glossary |
| breeze | a soft wind |
| drizzle | light rain that falls in tiny drops |
| fog | a cloud that is close to the ground |
| thunder | the loud sound that lightning makes |
The word next to that meaning is fog. So fog is a cloud that is close to the ground. The glossary helped us find the word.
