Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary

The book is in a very good condition!

This dictionary is pretty thick and heavy. It has lots of words listed in it, but does not tell any stories. The words are all listed in alphabetical order separated by syllables using dots. The words are followed by the phonetic pronunciation, then the definition. I wish there were more stories in this book. I dont understand why someone would look up words they dont know how to spell by spelling them and looking them up. It is so confusing. (Insert snarky grin here) In all seriousness, its a dictionary. That should be self explanatory. My kiddos use it for school. I think the spacing could be a little better, but if it were the book would be enormous.

i both this for my kids it help her

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!

I purchased this for my son to challenge him to look up unfamiliar words. This has made him a better student and a more solid reader. He now takes his time when reading and will immediately stop to look up words if he is unaware of the definitions. He doesnt attempt homework without it.

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.

Seemed to be missing words that normally a child would want to know the meaning of. The next purchase will be a full adult dictionary. I might even get wild and go unabridged!

I bought this for my 8 year old, so he can learn the meanings of new words. He really loves the book alot. It is easy to use, and we have even come up with a find the word game so he can familiarize himself with it better. I recommend this book to any elementary student. It is a cute dictionary, but it is also quite easy to use, too.

I ordered this for my twin grandsons who are finishing up their kindergarten year. They have been receiving online instruction for most of the school year but I was amazed at the amount of sight words as well as phonics instruction they have received thus far. So, I decided this summer would be a good time to teach them how to use a dictionary. This was the only one that I felt would be appropriate for them as the others with high ratings are for children 8+. I checked the dictionary since there were some reviews of missing pages, etc. but as far as I can tell, there were no problems with the one I received. For less than $10, this is a great childrens dictionary.

Upper Elementary age children will love this dictionary! The photos draw you in & the easy to read definitions bring excitement to learning.
