Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary for Children

My 7 year old asked Santa for a word book. So this is what they got. They love it.

My 5th grader was struggling with the definitions in my old college dictionary. This is perfect for her, and I like that it gives her practice with a dictionary (rather than looking words up online). So far, I've noticed it doesn't seem to have any Latin zoological names like arachnids, but other than those, it's included all of her school vocabulary words - and uses definitions she understands. I think we'll be using this for years to come. Wishing I had bought the hardback.

Kids love their dictionary! 📕 Funny to see the kids receive it and look at it with such confusion 🤣but after showing them how to use it they got it down. They use it often for writing assignments and also just to learn new words mom or dad tells them and also how to spell new words. Really recommend.

While it does have most words an elementary school child might look up, there are a few I was disappointed to find omitted. Mnemonic and syllabus being the two most notable. I understand they cannot include all words, but I felt those two were an obvious oversight.

My 8 year old has learned so many new words because of this dictionary. He is eager to look for new words and their meaning.

Really good dictionary

I bought two of these for my 10 and 8 year olds for them to use for homeschooling. We had a hard cover children's dictionary that they were sharing but I've learned that my children get more excited about books if they each have their own copy. I put their name labels in them and they were so excited! My daughter jumped up and down. Even though this is a "children's" dictionary it is set up like the dictionaries I used in college. This dictionary will easily get your child through grade school and beyond. It's soft cover so it can easily fit in a cubby or backpack. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Excelente lo hemos usado En las. Tareas de la niña muy práctico lo recomiendo

Cover of the dictionary was worn out from many places

Perfeito

Es el original y viene nuevo, Excellente !!!

Good little reference book. Was surprised to see the definition of “rape” though. Was hoping for the book to be slightly more filtered.

A user-friendly dictionary! It's a great starter dictionary for third graders and above.
