Using Dictionary Guide Words

A dictionary is a very useful book that gives us meanings of words.

It also tells us how to spell, say, and divide words. Words in dictionary are
arranged in alphabetical order.
The words on the top of a dictionary page are called guide words.
These words list the first and the last words on a dictionary page. By
looking at the guide words, you can tell which words will appear on that
page.
