Scholastic Children's Dictionary

Compré este diccionario para mi hija de 8 años y le encantó, excelente calidad de hojas pasta, ilustraciones, si bien es cierto que es un poco grande y pesado, en realidad a nosotros nos funciona perfecto porque solo es para que haga sus tareas en casa, no para llevar y traer diario en la mochila.Llego antes de lo esperado, para mi tiene 10 de 10. Lo recomiendo mucho.

My son and I are doing one page a day to learn. I like it, because it is clear and easy in the book is well made

My little writer wants to expand his horizons and we would really like to stop fielding "How do I spell ____" every four minutes. Thus a compromise, the Children's Dictionary from Scholastic. Our criteria for a dictionary were pretty simple: it needed to be colourful, appropriate for a precocious 7-year-old, and extensive enough to handle inquiries like spelling president, because, typically, and vacation. We didn't want to venture into more complex dictionaries beyond his current ability to read and locate words, and a pretty format would help. This dictionary hits all those high notes. It's easily one of the nicest dictionaries going for this age group, with easy to read entries that feature lots of white space, colour coding, and succinct descriptions that won't leave kiddo or parent confused. He can sit down and lose himself in the informative sections about presidents, states, and trees. With some instructions on basic dictionary use from Mom and Dad, our son can usually find the correct spelling without resorting to asking Siri or a parent. We have noticed a significant improvement in his overall literacy and spelling accuracy in the two months he has had it, and his ability to locate words or at least get close enough to recognize the right one is made so much easier by the clean, bold tags. For younger readers, it's going to be less of a reference material than something they can grow into. For older readers, this is still an excellent addition because of its comprehensive store of common words, good descriptions for what each means, and illustrations kept to a reasonable minimum.

Good for the kids.

値段がこれ系の辞書としては安かったので試しに注文してみました。中身はそれほど期待していなかったので、届いて見てびっくり。分厚い、重い。だけど内容はすごく良い。この値段でこれだけの充実した中身とは、本当に驚きです。巻末にアメリカの州や領土の解説、歴代大統領の写真が載っていたり、日本人には全く馴染みがない(けどアメリカ人が学校で習ってそうな感じの)人名が所々出てきたりと面白過ぎです。 久々に良い買い物したな、と思える商品でした。アメリカ英語好きの方は特におすすめです。単純にパラパラ眺めてつまみ読みしてるだけでも楽しめる本です。
