In our classroom, we use dictionaries in our word study, learning about root words, prefixes, and suffixes. The students love to look up words and their meanings; they are very inquisitive and crave knowledge. Having a classroom set of dictionaries will help them immensely in their quest to become the best writers they can be!
"Using a paper dictionary helps students acquire a broader vocabulary, teaches correct spelling and spelling patterns, and fosters reading comprehension. Looking up just one word in a dictionary inadvertently exposes a student to many other words, meanings, uses, and other information." (Becky L. Spivey, M.Ed).
