Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary

Awesome dictionary that’s bigger than what I imagined it to be; not a pocket type. My 8 year old was very excited to look up many words and loved the colorful pictures. I read the reviews and unlike some, there were no misspelled words, words out of order, or looks as though the dictionary was used. I’m perfectly happy with this purchase.

I like it very much. I bought it for my 9 years old grandson. When he see a word and he ask what does that word mean. I tell him to get the dictionary and he will look it up. He loves to read so he use it alot. Worth the price. Its big and when his younger siblings are older they can use it.

Great for elementary aged students. The pages are glossy and thicker than my old super-sized dictionary. Some words have pictures - most pages have at least one picture. My kids keep it with their distance learning supplies and are getting used to looking up words rather than expecting me to give them the answer. Its on my top ten school supply list!

This dictionary is just what I was looking for as a handy reference for my 7-, 9-, and 12-year-olds. Its visually appealing - so much so that we just enjoy flipping through and reading. The definitions are clear, and the kids are able to familiarize themselves with using a dictionary properly. A great purchase!

Although there were several reviews posted regarding errors in the book, once I received this dictionary, I carefully looked through and it does not contain the errors mentioned. They seem to have corrected not only the cover where individuals stated that compass was spelled wrong, but also errors inside the book. I bought this for my 11-year old son who wished to have a dictionary for Christmas. It is a good starter dictionary that can be used along the years. I highly recommend.

Muy completo y divertido a la vez mi hijo le llamo mucho la Atención porque tiene buenas imágenes , la pasta si estaba un poco despegada

This dictionary has the words my 9-year-old is most likely to need to look up, along with color pictures accompanying many of the entries. The separate geolocation dictionary is great and the maps are clear and easy to read.

Our usual dictionary intimidated my son and the long alternate definitions for some words left him overwhelmed, so we ordered this and thought it would be a great entry level dictionary. It is easy to use and the definitions are short (so that is a plus for usability), but it is missing a lot of words that I think are reasonable to have assumed would be in even an entry level dictionary (for example, words common in current events or science). It is turning out to not be that useful to us, because many words that my 8 year old needs help with are not in this dictionary. It might be more appropriate for my 6 year old learning to read.

Not as great for 5th grade as it would be for younger grades... a lot of my students tried using it for our vocabulary units but most of the words aren’t in it. Other than that, it’s very sturdy, well organized, and easy to read! It was a great resource to teach my students how to use a dictionary! I still keep it in my classroom.

The book big but helpful in her reading. She learning with out electronics and it helps.
