Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary

Great gift for an elementary student. Learning from home is a challenge and does it work equally for all kids. My friends nine year old was struggling with her vocabulary. Did a little research and thought this might do the trick. It’s working well for her daughter and she enjoys using it to learn new words.

I bought this for my son who is heading into 5th grade and it is perfect. It is extremely easy to use and understand and I wish we had bought it sooner. I expect hes going to get a lot of use out of it and then the next couple years.

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.

Not as great for 5th grade as it would be for younger grades... a lot of my students tried using it for our vocabulary units but most of the words aren’t in it. Other than that, it’s very sturdy, well organized, and easy to read! It was a great resource to teach my students how to use a dictionary! I still keep it in my classroom.

Purchased this along with another dictionary for an older child, and this Elementary Version beat the other hands down - in the way its laid out, quality of the paper and print. The book is heavier than most, because of the quality of the paper - but its not a 3 or 4 inch book. Its for kids, so I dont expect every word is included. It should get her by for quite a few years. Giving it away as a gift.

Seemed to be missing words that normally a child would want to know the meaning of. The next purchase will be a full adult dictionary. I might even get wild and go unabridged!

This dictionary was designed with children in mind. My nine-year-old has an easy time using it for homework assignments. It has some pictures and detailed instructions on how to use the dictionary. It has so many features including a guide for writers, Greek and Latin roots in English, and a map of the United States and the world among other features. I recommended for parents as their childs first dictionary.

Esta es una excelente opción para niños de entre 7 y 12 años. Este diccionario ofrece imágenes que van acorde con los conceptos descritos en cada página. Es de muy buen material y por lo que veo durabilidad.

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.

Amazon product for third graders that are learning how to use the dictionary. The paper has great quality. The colors are bright. The definition is great. And the hard cover is just the cherry on top.
