Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary [Hardcover]
The all-new edition of the essential dictionary for minors grades 3-5, ages 8-11, with more than 36,000 entries. Expanded usage sentences and phrases include over 1,three hundred quotes from classic and contemporary little people's literature. Additional features include hundreds of new, colorful illustrations, photos, and diagrams: word history and synonym paragraphs; pronunciation paragraphs for each letter; child-friendly usage signals; and Greek and Latin word root paragraphs to help spelling and vocabulary building. Special sections include geographical terms, signs and symbols, word roots, and a billing of literary works used in the text.
I purchased hard cover Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary for each one of my First Grade Class to give at the end of the school year as a special prize. The next day two of the boys brought their dictionaries back to school with all the bird pictures in the dictionary marked to show me. Each one could also read the description of the birds pictured. This is a very complete, well illustrated dictionary for any American kid aged 6-14. I can see years of use for each dictionary as the kids progress to upper levels. I like the concept of pick up identical dictionary for my class next year. I have several Scholastic dictionaries in the classroom but they are not as well researched as Merriam-Webster.
This is a rather child-friendly dictionary! It has colorful pictures, and the definitions are also child-friendly. I highly recommend this for any elementary kid, as it will also transition well into middle school or junior high.
