Should be included on your child's school supply list!

2006-08-23
This is a super book that will not only increase you and your child's vocabulary, but will become a useful tool for your kids' writing assignments for school! I've had numerous writing assignments come home from my grade school kids that required rhyming and creative writing. This book came in SOOOOOO handy, it really gave us an advantage and allowed us to create more vivid stories than trying to come up with rhyming words instead of out of our over used and limited words off the top of our head. When in question, we reach for THE SCHOLASTIC RHYMING DICTIONARY!

RECOMMENDED!

this is too basic

2006-07-18
all they do is take every suffix and play the alphabet game, just running down the list, there are no complex rhymes half of common words are left out.

Great for younger people intrested in poetry!!!

2006-03-13
This book is a great book for any younger person intrested in writing poetry, songs, raps, and etc. I think that this book is very easy to use and understand. I know I have said that this book is mainly for kids, but I am 15 and I still use this book for a lot of peotry that I write for school. So basiclly it is a great book for most people to use. The book also has funny pictures in it to help you know what the word is. Overall this is a great rhyming book.
I hope my review was helpful to you!

Wonderful Beginners Rhyming Dictionary

1998-11-24
With over 15,000 words, it has enough for an aspiring poet to be very useful without overwhelming a reader. Although more advanced poets should turn to Sue K. Young's other rhyming dictionary, The New Comprehensive American Rhyming Dictionary, it is perfect in a classroom. I originally bought this book from my 7th grade literature teacher and immediately found good use. For the past five years, it has been of great convenience and has been one of the books I keep at the side of my desk.

When writing a poem for school assignments or merely to express my own emotional state, or convey a story, it has definitely come in handy. Although I am currently looking for a new, more comprehensive rhyming dictionary, this book is great for beginners.

A great book for poets of all ages 1998-11-20
I bought this book to use when I teach poetry to children, and ended up using it for my own poems, too. This book is useful and lots of fun.

Great value 2008-06-20
This book is super easy to use. There is an index of popular words in the back that helps you find the rhyming vowel. The way this book is organized is the best I've seen in a rhyming dictionary. Children will enjoy their poetry assignments when they have the tools for the job. This book is an excellent tool for poetry and other creative writing assignments. Children in upper elementary and middle school would be able to use this book independenty. Younger elementary children would need assistance. This book is designed for children but adults may enjoy is's simplicity and ease of use as well.

Creating Young Poets 2008-05-11
Children love words and my students read this book for pleasure and then create their own poems.

Middle School Teacher's Rhyming Dictionary of choice 2008-02-10
This is a fantastic rhyming dictionary, great for middle school aged students. The organization of the dictionary helps students find their word choices quickly. I purchased five of these as a classroom set, and will purchase more soon to make sure that every student has one under their desk. Even the most stubborn "non writer" has fun using this resource to write poetry!

Excellent resource for the classroom or home 2008-01-12
I love this book. It makes writing poetry so much more fun! Students argue over the books; I have about twenty for thirty students. You need to have these books in the English classroom for your poetry unit, and it is fun to have them throughout the year. If you are looking for a gift for an English or language arts teacher, this would be a great gift.
