About this title

Synopsis

The bestselling Scholastic Children's Dictionary has been revised and updated. Some outstanding new features include: • Sixteen pages of bonus material—a grammar and punctuation guide, photos of all the U.S. presidents, a map of the continents, a map of Canada, and more! • Dozens of new and updated entries—blog, artichoke, IM, desktop, and Euro to name a few. Each new entry was written by a well-known lexicographer and reviewed by an advisory board of educators and librarians. • Several new photos and illustrations. The updated Scholastic Children's Dictionary still contains the elements that made the previous editions beloved and trusted by children, parents, and teachers. • Definitions are easy to understand and include the most current computer, scientific, and cultural terms.
• Pronunciations are spelled the way they sound—not with confusing symbols and schwas. • Word histories, language notes, spelling hints,
and synonym tips help kids improve critical skills while teaching them interesting facts about the language they use every day. With exciting new features, accessible definitions, and helpful illustrations and photographs, the new and updated Scholastic Children's Dictionary is an essential resource that belongs in every home, school, and library.

Review

The Scholastic Children's Dictionary provides a brief history of each letter, precise definitions, and charming illustrations. Scattered throughout are colored boxes of synonyms, suffixes, and prefixes for featured words. Perusing this quality reference volume is a rich experience that's well beyond a simple list of definitions.
