Amazing Resource My Daughter Uses Every Day

Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary is an incredible tool for young learners! My daughter uses it daily, and it has been a fantastic resource for expanding her vocabulary and improving her language skills. The definitions are clear and easy to understand, and the illustrations make it even more engaging. It’s the perfect companion for schoolwork and curious minds. Highly recommend for any child’s learning journey!

Dictionary for 8 year old

Easy to use for my 8 year old. We’ve transitioned to “homebound” and he needed a dictionary so that I’m not giving him all of the answers to homework.

Great dictionary

This dictionary is everything I wanted it to be. My 7-year-old granddaughter is homeschooled and she is at the "What does that mean?" stage. As a former librarian, I want her to learn to search for definitions rather than asking an adult to Google. She can use it independently, and the definitions are age appropriate. It is well constructed, so she will be able to use it for years to come.

Look it up!

This is the perfect dictionary for my first grader. He loves homophones and this book makes it easy for him to look them up. The color-coded alphabetical order is helpful as well. I’m a child of the 80’s and 90’s where my mom’s favorite words to me were “look it up”. My son may be gen alpha, but he’s going to know how to “look it up” as well!

Fantastic! Fills my daughter's well of knowledge!

Pronunciations, Latin words/phrases and the meanins, synonyms (something all, perfectly elementary), syllables, adjectives, verbs if sort, hints, phrases, small stories and "word history" and "word roots"... etc... a fantastic elementary dictionary for any child. This dictionary has colorful images, but more wordage than images. I love the color coded alphabet to find the section you need quickly. My daughter is 5 years old with extraordinary language arts, reading, and comprehension levels beyond her peers, (not bragging, but very proud, yet very difficult to fulfill her ever growing curiosity and thirst for knowledge when I lack the moment of knowledge myself...a deer in headlights... Seriousl, mommies don't know everything, but we can try 😅...) I find this is a fantastic read for most children who can read and understand and can fulfill that ever deepening knowledge well that child wishes to fill. She also asks a million times a day: "how do you spell...??" Well! Here you go my dear! Fill that well! Teaches her alphabetical order, spelling, sounding out words, gaining deeper knowledge as to what something is or what some of those things look like! For example, the other day we were talking about "cells" because we are learning about why plants are green and looking in her microscope; well, in this book, there is a beautiful illustration/diagram of a general "plant cell". I am also endlessly fascinated by the "word history" and "word root"... some of this stuff I have absolutely forgotten long ago, so it becomes difficult to explain to my 5 year old, but these stories and history bits have teeth and the knowledge sticks and the word(s) become that more interesting. I absolutely have so much to say, but I'll spare you... I highly recommend this dictionary for any child through teenage years. I love it!

Very useful

It is very useful. There are a couple of words missing but over all it is a very good guide for kids that are starting to write.

Better for the younger kids in 3rd grade or less

This is a very nice looking dictionary with pretty much every page having an illustration for a word and some pages even having an etymology or interesting trivia callout, but of course this comes at a cost of fewer word definitions and “less dictionary” overall.This means it’s perfectly fine for younger kids in elementary school, but including 4th and 5th grade gets to be pushing it a bit for about half the students who are doing better than average in reading.I’m not sure what Lexile score it’s targeted at but if I had to guess I’d say it’s for below 800L. So half the 4th graders and most 5th graders should probably just use the middle school version of this dictionary or a regular adult dictionary.But for below 800L this looks great. Just buy it earlier, like K or 1st grade, rather than 6 months before they don’t need it anymore.

Fantastic 2nd grade dictionary

This is a fantastic dictionary for my 7 1/2 year old in 2nd grade! It will be useful for now and years to come. I highly recommend it.
