character is speaking quietly. I will sound
stern when someone is saying something that
is serious. I will speed up my voice when
something exciting is happening, and I will
slow it down for parts that are quiet and slow.

Use Alphabetical Order
Research/Study Skill
• Information is often arranged in the order of the
letters of the alphabet, from A to Z.
• When you look up information in an encyclopedia,
dictionary or thesaurus the topic will be in ABC order.
• Organizing words in alphabetical order is called
alphabetizing.
• When alphabetizing a group of words, you should
look at the first letter of each word and think about
the order of the alphabet. If more than one word
begins with the same letter, you should look at the
second letter, third letter, or more, all the way
through the word.
