Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary

It is easy for my 9 year old grandson to use

I bought 2 for my grandchildren and they love it. Excellent way to help them find words themselves

I bought this for my second-grade grandson. He gets a lot of use from it now, and there are so many features he can grow into it as well. Its well organized, bright and appealing. He likes to just browse through it. A nice alternative to the Internet for curious kids.

Seemed to be missing words that normally a child would want to know the meaning of. The next purchase will be a full adult dictionary. I might even get wild and go unabridged!

Got for each of my grandchildren in 2nd and 3 rd grades. Color coded on side and inside on edge of page to help located letter needed

I love the book. I used it to teach my daughter how to use a dictionary and now when she does not know the meaning of word she can go and find it in the book. I know she can use online dictation but I believe this way teachers her more words.

Absolutely love this edition! Bought one for my son at home and one for his teacher!!

Grandson’s third grade

This dictionary is a hardcover. The book is a nice size and gas weight to it. I dont know why that thought it was acceptable to package this item in a bag for delivery with no padding or Cushion. My daughters book arrived damaged, which over rime will become worse. After a brief skim, I like the way dictionary is set up. A great addition to my daughters bookcase.

Truth be told, I actually ordered this dictionary for my grandson due to a one star review from someone who disliked it because there was no reference to a homosexual lifestyle or the alphabet soup lifestyle. Now before you go and flame me with the typical progressive name calling that we have all come to expect, I am a small business owner and I have 2 homosexuals, one female and one male, that work for me. They are respected because they are good people. SO lets take this one step further. The one star reviewer makes no mention that there is also no entry in this dictionary for heterosexual either. A typical move of the progressive indoctrination crowd. Here is a wonderful dictionary that lets children be children. As children age, they can discover and explore in their own appropriate time the vagaries of our age.
