Reference Materials

Four Types of Reference Materials Encyclopedia Atlas Dictionary Thesaurus Almanac

Encyclopedia Why do we use encyclopedias? An encyclopedia is used when someone wants to find information about a person, place, or thing. You may want to find out information about George Washington. You can learn about him from reading information in an encyclopedia.

Atlas An atlas is a map. If you want to find a specific place, street, road, city, or state. Many people use an atlas when they are going on vacation or traveling to another place.

Dictionary We use a dictionary to look up words. You will find the meaning of words in a dictionary. For example, when you do not know the meaning of a word in a story. You may use a dictionary to look up the meaning of the word.

Thesaurus In a thesaurus, you will find synonyms for words. First, you look up the word in the thesaurus. Next to the word you will find a list of words that mean the same things as the word you looked up. Like wonderful –great, magnificent, excellent, terrific, cool, and fantastic Also in a thesaurus you will find an antonym for the word. Like horrible or awful would be an antonym for wonderful.

Almanac In an almanac you will find information about the current year. Almanacs are published new every year. In an almanac you will find information about planting season, the phases of the moon, best times for fishing, and other information related to nature or science. Benjamin Franklin was one of the first Americans to publish an almanac. It was called Poor Richard’s Almanac.
