Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary

My son needed a dictionary for his homework and is doing really well with using this book but noticed that pages were smuggled so have to look up things a different way.

This dictionary is just what I was looking for as a handy reference for my 7-, 9-, and 12-year-olds. Its visually appealing - so much so that we just enjoy flipping through and reading. The definitions are clear, and the kids are able to familiarize themselves with using a dictionary properly. A great purchase!

This version was printed July 2021. I have looked for the misspellings and missing pages. Those have been corrected. It’s a beautiful children’s dictionary. There is at least one picture on every page.

Remember when you asked for help looking up a word and your parent said, Go look it up in the dictionary! ? This is a good tool to have at home especially for 2nd + as they need to learn how to use a dictionary... per state standards. Came promptly and was new.

I ordered this for my sons 10th birthday--his very first dictionary. I loved the concept of it being child-friendly and thought this may help him understand definitions he normally would not be able to comprehend in a regular dictionary. HE. LOVES. IT. It is so colorful and large enough to be able to clearly read it. The pictures help him understand as well, since he is very visual. Definitely a great buy and I will purchase again when my next child is around the same age!

My grandson loves reading and he reads above his age so he needed some word help. The book is terrific with plenty of interesting side lights to help a reader expand their vocabulary. Pages are handleable by a 7 year old, no ripping or tearing.

Although there were several reviews posted regarding errors in the book, once I received this dictionary, I carefully looked through and it does not contain the errors mentioned. They seem to have corrected not only the cover where individuals stated that compass was spelled wrong, but also errors inside the book. I bought this for my 11-year old son who wished to have a dictionary for Christmas. It is a good starter dictionary that can be used along the years. I highly recommend.

I bought this children’s dictionary for my kids. I always had encyclopedia and dictionaries in my house when I was growing up. Everytime my kids ask me what a word means or read books and doesn’t know what a word mean I tell them to look it up just like my mom told me before the Internet and cellphone were popular. I will order another advanced dictionary for bigger words so that my kid’s vocabulary can increase each grade level.

I bought this book for a third grader and it is very colorful and easy to read. Clear and concise definitions. Each alphabet is color coded which is helpful to find words.

i both this for my kids it help her
