Scholastic Rhyming Dictionary

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.

Children love words and my students read this book for pleasure and then create their own poems.

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!

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.

Once you get the hang of it this is a wonderful resource for any writer!
