Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary

My daughter (7 years old) loves reading this. Sometimes she’ll sneak it to bed with her or get up and grab it. I can think of much worse things to get frustrated about. Rate it between easy and moderate. Depends on the person.

The book is in a very good condition!

It is easy for my 9 year old grandson to use

I got this as a tool for my children to use in case/when the digital world fails. They might not always have access to technology and the way things are going now, everything is on the verge of collapse. Kids need to know how to do math, write in cursive, and look up words in the dictionary. This is a beautiful dictionary for kids! Its big, lots of words and pictures. My children sat and looked through the pages. They were quite captivated by the dictionary, the word history captions, and the root word explanations. Its very colorful, but not too much...just the right amount for 4th - 6th graders. It arrived in perfect condition!

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!

I bought this for my nine year old and its the best decision I made, the dictionary is perfect its not small like the other dictionaries and the pictures are an added benefit. The errors previously mentioned have been corrected because I dont see them in this copy and the word compass is spelled correctly in my copy. I would recommend it for anyone searching for a good kids dictionary.

I love the book. I used it to teach my daughter how to use a dictionary and now when she does not know the meaning of word she can go and find it in the book. I know she can use online dictation but I believe this way teachers her more words.

This dictionary is very comprehensive, easy to navigate and very sturdy. Many of the pages have illustrations which help kids to visualize the meaning of the word as well. I would definitely recommend it.

My youngest daughter teaches 5th Grade Language Arts (back when she was in school I think it was ENGLISH class). Anyway, theyve moved the elementary grades into their new building this summer. And she wanted one of the Merrian-Websters Elementary Dictionary, New Edition for each one of her students to have to use. Plus have several for any new students that may come in later. So between me, other family members, and a whole bunch of her friends, she got the number of books she wanted. She is so proud of them.

I bought this for my 8 year old. The high school dictionary we had was too overwhelming for her. This is a wonderful first dictionary for elementary kids! The writing isn’t quite as small as the high school version, there are pictures for some entries, the definitions seem a little more simple, and each letter is color coded on the edge, which makes it a little easier to find say words that start with “L”.
