The document discusses alphabetical order and using dictionaries. It provides examples of putting words in alphabetical order by finding them in dictionaries organized by color-coded letters. Students are asked to put lists of words in alphabetical order by locating them in the dictionaries. The document emphasizes that when words start with the same letter, the next letter must be used to determine alphabetical order.
