The Scholastic Dictionary of Spelling

Ordered this with a copy of pocket dictionary and pocket thesaurus. Great type each word in in blue bold print easy to find words, also shows references for word building and plural forms. Also small enough to carry in backpack for school.

As a special services director, I am always on the lookout for aids that help students become more independent in their work. This is one that is used often both my classroom and in several teachers rooms. Take the time to teach students how to use it.

It is a thinner book with more words for your child to carry around or have in their library then a dictionary. It has most words a child will need to review for a quick spelling look-up.

My daughter is having difficulty spelling (she's in third grade). She loves this book and uses it often. It's easy for her to find the word she is searching for. She uses it to assist her during Scrabble and when doing her homework.

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!
