13

• You can use a dictionary to check a words
  spelling, pronunciation, number of syllables,
  part of speech, etymology (word origin), and
  definition (or definitions). Depending on the
  word, a dictionary entry may also show correct
  capitalization, irregular plural spellings,
  synonyms, illustrations, photographs, and
  diagrams.

14

• To find a word quickly in a dictionary use guide
  words. Guide Words can be found at the top of
  each dictionary page. If the word you are
  looking for comes somewhere between the guide
  words alphabetically, then your word should
  appear on that page.

15

• Many nonfiction books also contain a glossary at
  the back where you can check or confirm the
  meaning of a word. Like dictionary entries,
  glossary entries are listed in alphabetical
  order. Unlike a dictionary, which lists all
  words with their definitions, a glossary lists
  only important words found in the book. The entry
  shows only the definition that applies to how the
  word is used in the book.

16

• The table of contents appears at the beginning of
  a book. It lists the sections of the book in the
  order that they appear in the book and the page
  number on which each section begins. By skimming
  the table of contents of a book, you can usually
  get an overview of the book's contents and good
  idea of the authors focus and approach. You can
  also see at a glance where to turn to find
  information about a topic or subtopic in the book.
