Webster's NW Student Dictionary 94c

My daughter uses the dictionary constantly. She is only 9 but finds it very helpful, especially during her homewok and it is not as difficult to follow or understand as the adult version.

This is the dictionary my child's teacher suggested. It is a very good dictionary for middle school age children. The print, though not as large as a children's primary dictionary, is not nearly as small as the print of college dictionaries. The volume is large enough to encompass a large volume of words, also a plus for school work. It contains definitions, synonyms and antonyms. This is most helpful for homework. The book is hardbound which makes it easier to use for children as they do not need to keep one hand one the page to keep the book open while writing. We have yet to find a shortfall, when using this dictionary. :)

This dictionary is relevant, up to date (does not include too many obsolete definitions) and like another person said, when you need to look up word a good dictionary will give you a clear and precise definition which doesn't give you other words to look up in the process.

This Dictionary is by far one of the best for anyone at an intermediate level. It lacks derivations, but the definitions are clear and direct and do not leave the person in a word chain trying to define words within definitions, etc. It's very complete and it a great quick reference to use to find the meaning and usage of almost every common word in our language. I like it because it is not to complex, but it still unlocks understanding.

A good dictionary will enable you to understand a word without having to look up alot of other ones in the process. This is a good dictionary for all ages.
