Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary

My daughter asks 100 questions a day. I am so glad that now when she asks me what something means, I just point to the dictionary and tell her to look it up! Initially she wasnt too fond of this! Now that its been a few months, she LOVES her dictionary!!!

My granddaughter started authoring stories as soon as she learned to read. She is now authoring short stories and assembling them into books with age-appropriate words for her age. This book will excite her love of words even more and improve her communication by moving her skills beyond phonetic spelling. This dictionary is well laid out and reinforces her knowledge of words she knows and generates interest in higher levels of language. For the word lover or the language challenge child, this dictionary and a caring guide (parent, grandparent, or teacher) will increase the success the child will have.

i both this for my kids it help her

Great for learning young adults who say what’s that word mean.. well look it up!

Absolutely love this edition! Bought one for my son at home and one for his teacher!!

The book is in a very good condition!

I bought 2 for my grandchildren and they love it. Excellent way to help them find words themselves

Would have liked to have a few more features but good hardback book with ease of locating words and font size of words.

This dictionary is pretty thick and heavy. It has lots of words listed in it, but does not tell any stories. The words are all listed in alphabetical order separated by syllables using dots. The words are followed by the phonetic pronunciation, then the definition. I wish there were more stories in this book. I dont understand why someone would look up words they dont know how to spell by spelling them and looking them up. It is so confusing. (Insert snarky grin here) In all seriousness, its a dictionary. That should be self explanatory. My kiddos use it for school. I think the spacing could be a little better, but if it were the book would be enormous.

Great for children learning how to look up words and thier pronounciations. The words could have been in a larger font but other than that it was ok
