Dictionary Skills Alphabetical Order Worksheet

The early pages ask learners to sequence several small banks of unrelated words, building fluency with ordinary alphabetical comparison. Later pages shift to sentences and ask which listed word would appear first or last in a dictionary. That change moves the skill from rewriting full lists to making targeted lookup judgments within context. A final checking page covers both formats, allowing errors in sequencing and first-or-last decisions to be reviewed separately.
