But it does take a little bit of training to learn how to access the wealth of knowledge in a dictionary. This week’s freebie is a page dedicated to helping you teach your students how to conquer the dictionary. While dictionaries are useful for all grade levels, this worksheet is geared toward second to fourth grades. I’ve also provided a blank version so you can fill in your own words. Happy exploring!
