  • Useful
It helps to have this when kids do not understand the meanings of certain things. Very resourceful

  • has all the words my kid needs
My 3rd grader wasn't finding all the words we needed in our children's dictionary. This one looks and feels more grown up, and has all the words she needs so far. We homeschool.

  • Nice
Pretty good. Learn how to look up words the old fashioned way. My 6 year old first grader uses it. It’s large almost The size of a phone book. We use it all the time. It is abridged so once in a while a word is not in there but … it’s for children and says so.

  • Good dictionary
I bought this for my grandson who was having reading comprehension problems due to not knowing the vocabulary. I had to show him how to use it, the don't show them how to use dictionaries. It's helped him with his vocabulary.

  • Great for All Grades & Ages!
I bought two of these for my 10 and 8 year olds for them to use for homeschooling. We had a hard cover children's dictionary that they were sharing but I've learned that my children get more excited about books if they each have their own copy. I put their name labels in them and they were so excited! My daughter jumped up and down. Even though this is a "children's" dictionary it is set up like the dictionaries I used in college. This dictionary will easily get your child through grade school and beyond. It's soft cover so it can easily fit in a cubby or backpack. I'm very happy with this purchase. ... show more

  • Good intro to words for kids.
I know they’re becoming obsolete, but I wanted to teach my seven year old going into second grade, how useful it can be. Using to learn more about alphabetical order, as well as parts of speech etc. He knows how to use the dictionary online, but I wanted him to be able to pull this open when he’s curious about a word at his desk, rather then ask to log into his laptop etc. ... show more
