• Great Addition To Our Homeschool Library! Love It! 09 May, 2007
I bought the dictionary and thesaurus for our homeschool library. I love them both. They are easy to use and include pictures of selected entries. Some entries have a full page dedicated to them, like geologic time, and solar system. The book also includes biographical information. At the front of the book a lesson in dictionary use, as well as parts of speech and other helpful language arts tid bits can be found. My six year old can use this dictionary, and she will continue to use it for quite some time. It is NOT one of those kids' dictionaries full of pictures. It is quite helpful and user friendly!

• Easy To Use 13 March, 2007
This book gives children excellent instructions to get the most out of each entry. My eight and nine year-olds find it very easy to use and refer to it regularly.

• Great Student Resource...elementary And Up 21 December, 2007
Great layout, well illustrated for information and interest. My second grader is using it for her homework which involves looking up definitions of spelling/vocab words. This was much more student-friendly than the large classic Webster's edition, easier to find an understandable definition that a second-grader could read. Most (all?)of her words have had an example sentence that helps understand how the word might be used in context. My only suggestion...our old dictionary had those thumb-cut-out tab sorts of things that let you easily thumb to a particular letter quickly...no such help here, and it can be painfully slow for her to find where a particular letter starts. We actually used the post-it mini tabs to make our own landmarks to turn to.
Overall a great choice and I am sure it will be suitable through junior high and beyond.

• Our Homeschool Gives This An A+! 18 March, 2008
This dictionary is exactly what I was looking for! It is the perfect transition between a children's dictionary and an adult dictionary. It has many wonderful, student friendly features, including lots of color photos, sample sentences, and a pronunciation guide on every pair of facing pages. I'm sure this will prove to be an invaluable resource to our homeschool in the coming years.

• A Must For Every 5th Grader !! 06 October, 2008
My daughter enjoys this dictionary and makes great use of it. Gone are the days of " How do you spell...". She simply rather look it up for herself. A great investment.
