8. Vocabulary Strategy for Unfamiliar Words
You can use a glossary or a dictionary to find the meaning of a word you don't know. A glossary appears at the back of a book and lists important words from that book and their meanings. A dictionary is a separate book that lists words and their meanings, as well as other information about the words. The words in a glossary or a dictionary are listed in alphabetical order.

Economics: Needs vs. Wants
You can divide the types of things you
buy into two categories: things you need and things you want. This story is about a boy who buys things he wants but doesn't really need. When you make decisions about how to spend your money, you need to think about whether you are buying something you need or just something you want. Sometimes it might be fun to buy things you don't really need, such as chewing gum or toys. But people should make sure they have enough money left over to buy the things they need.

Some base words do not change when adding -ed, -ing, - er, and -est: greatest. Others do change: planned, leaving, heavier. Base words sometimes change spelling but not pronunciation when adding endings.

Adding new endings to words sometimes changes the spelling of the base word. These changes can include doubling the consonant at the end of the word or changing the letter y to an i before adding the ending.
