This will help them as they continue on through their educational journey.\r\n\r\nDuring our time with the dictionaries, students can either share the dictionary with a partner or share it with their table group. Students have been seen assisting each other in finding the letter associated with the beginning sound of the word and then looking through to find the word they were looking for.
