17. Use a Dictionary
A dictionary provides information about many words. Remember that dictionaries list words in alphabetical order to make words easy to find. Guide words at the tops of the pages help you fin the correct page on which an entry word is listed. The information in an entry includes:
How the word is spelled
What the word means
How the word is pronounced
Whether the word is a noun, a verb, or another part of speech

18. Use a Dictionary
Doctor (doc ter) Noun .1 a person who treats people when they are sick verb 2. to change something, to change how something looks.
I’m not sure how to say the word or what it means as I read. I find the entry word for mound on a page in the dictionary. To see how its pronounced, I look at the word in parentheses. I say mound. I then notice that mound is a noun. I see that it has two meanings numbered 1 and 2. I think about how the word is used in the sentence and check my idea with the two definitions in the dictionary entry.
Mound (maund) Noun 1. a heap of something such as dirt or potatoes. 2 the raised area in the middle of a baseball diamond, from which the pitcher throws the ball.
