Synopsis
If a young person is to become a skilled and responsible self-learner, who finds joy and success in education, there is no way around the frequent use of dictionaries. Studies clearly show that understanding the meaning of words is the key to success as a student. But when you first open a dictionary and look at the various symbols, grammatical terminology, and small print, you may be discouraged. But one does not need a degree in linguistic to enjoy the liberal use of dictionaries with crystal clear understanding. In fact How to Use a Dictionary makes it simple enough for anyone from age eight on up to find his way through the basics of grammar and the small print of wordbooks. And while this book can be understood by young people, it is of no less value to the advanced learner because honestly, do you understand every bit of what you see printed in a lexicon?

About the Author
Effective Education Publishing is proud to introduce the work of bestselling American author and humanitarian,
L. Ron Hubbard, to the field of education. Mr. Hubbard's extensive research and writings on the subject of learning and study provide unique insights into the underlying causes of student behavior. Why do students drop out? What causes a student to lose interest in a subject, to become bored or frustrated and unable to concentrate on his studies? Why do so many students say without hesitation that they "hate school"?
Central to Mr. Hubbard's educational findings is a delineation of the primary barriers to learning, never before recognized and yet constituting the underlying reasons for academic failures. The materials contained in his books are actual practical appplication procedures and methods to recognize and overcome these learning barriers on an individual basis, to motivate a student and give him the means to grasp, understand and be able to apply any subject. These are educational breakthroughs that have been successfully tested with consistent results by parents, teachers and students the world over.
