Great for Adults & Children

2008-04-29
A year and a half ago I found this book at my Daughter's Scholastic book fair. This is a GREAT book! As a Mom I have a very difficult time spelling due to Dyslexia. I can read perfectly, however spelling is a real challenge for me. I help in my child's first grade class one full day a week, and the children are always asking how to spell words. I keep this dictionary handy, and when I am not sure how to spell a word, we look it up together. This book contains thousands of words! It is written in an easy to read font, and it is simple to use! I am buying two more copies for home - one for me and one for my 6 year old!

My daughter is 7 and she loves it!

Not only does my daughter love this book, but her teacher wanted to see it and loves it too. It's an excellent book for allowing a child to be able to find out how to spell a word by themselves. And since they do the work of actually looking up the word, it reinforces the spelling that much more within their minds.

There are several pages of useful information on how to spell words and on how to use the book effectively. My daughter has read parts of this and has learned much about spelling. It has improved her spelling abilities in school (she now gets 106% on her tests) and made her more self-reliant, which is important to me.

I'd recommend getting this book and Merriam Webster Children's Dictionary together, as one is good for looking up spelling, and the other is a great reference for definitions.

I have come across these Scholastic Language books and this seems to be a great Vocabulary resource for kids. Especially with the slow learners, the Dictionary of Spelling is a blessing. Words that are seperated into syllables with clear indication in bold, makes easier for pronunciation. Moreover, the phonetic reads become easier when children can use the book as additional reference in classroom. Scholastic has made way to India in classrooms too and as we teach them these easy scholastic book, it is fun way using and great resource to teach kids while they play and learn.

It is very handy, the size is a little big for me but nevertheless the content is what counts.

A wonderful spell-checker for grades 1-6

With a brand new design, 1,000 additional words, and new fun sections like "The Four Longest Words in the English Language" and "The Spelling Words That Made Kids Champions," this is the perfect spelling resource for students. The introduction gives instructions for looking up a word the reader does not necessarily know how to spell, offers more than 150 memory tricks to correct commonly misspelled words, and clearly explains general spelling rules (and their exceptions). Furthermore, to aid pronunciation, each word is divided into syllables with the accented syllable in boldface.

Much easier to use than a dictionary

I bought this for my 5th grader and he tells me it is much easier to use than a regular dictionary. I know that it is easier for me to get him to look up words he needed to spell than it was when he had only a dictionary.

Great for beginning writers
