To find them, give each letter a cent value:

a=1 cent,  b=2 cents,  c= 3 cents, and so on up to z=26 cents.

Then add up the value of each letter in your word.   Check to see that  "discipline" is indeed a $1 word.

Your mission for this lesson is to find another one dollar word. (please write out the addition on paper)
Here are some tips that might be of help:
