Book Reviews of Scholastic Children's Dictionary
Book Review: A child's first dictionary
Summary: 5 Stars
My 8 year old son is in third grade and has been using this dictionary to help him with his homework. He asked me the definition of a vocabulary word one day and I had him look it up in this dictionary. Once he found his answer, it was like a lightbulb turned on. He grabbed the dictionary from me as if he'd just found a cheat sheet. Now he relies on it daily.
This dictionary is easy for children to use. Each letter comes with a hint on how to find words beginning with that letter in the dictionary. For instance, for the letter "L," it explains that "words that begin with the 'lye' sound are usually spelled 'li' or 'ly.'"
The font is large, there are colorful illustrations inserted throughout. The definitions are easy for a young student to understand. Sometimes, a word will include a highlighted box explaining the word history.
This dictionary is suitable for younger students. I'd imagine middle school children or older would need a more substantial dictionary with more complex words. I recommend it highly as a student's first dictionary.
