Newspapers encyclopedias, dictionaries and textbooks are all examples of secondary sources .

Another answer

A secondary source can be explained most coherently by starting with the definition of a primary source:

A primary source is written or created by a person. For example, Thomas Paine was the author of COMMON SENSE just as James Madison was one of the authors of THE FEDERALIST PAPERS.

Those are primary sources.

Any commentary, reference to, biography of the author which quotes or other wise uses these primary sources is a secondary source.

Think of the primary source being a straight-on view, while a secondary source relates to the primary source obliquely.
