Now in a fully revised and illustrated edition specifically designed for students in grades 9 to 11, Merriam-Webster's School Dictionary is an essential, core, and thoroughly "kid friendly" reference. With more than 100,000 entries providing authoritative definitions, spellings, and pronounciations, more than 1,000 clear illustrations and tables, and over 15,000 useage examples, the Merriam-Webster' School Dictionary is a crystal clear, easy-to-use resource that presents solid information without relying on excessively small font size to strain young eyes. Also very solidly recommended is the Merriam-Webster's Intermediate Dictionary (0877795797, $17.95) for middle school students in grades 5 to 8.

My students and I constantly go through the dictionary finding possible and impossible words and this dictionary has been the one to always have the information we need in a way that we were able to understand (It also hard for the teacher sometimes). Many times when you use a dictionary the definition is stated in words that you have to lookup again anyway. This is the one you and your children will always be able to understand quickly!

I bought this dictionary for my 6th grader and she has found it most useful. I have been using it too!
Well worth the money and something every home should have!

This is a great Dictionary, I even caught my son looking up words on his own that were not assigned. A Must have for Middle Grades

This dictionary has come in handy for the 5 days I had it. My son (7th grade) had winter homework to do and when he presented it to me, he had "Unscrupulous- not scrupulous" and I almost lost my marbles! Of course he couldn't tell me what being "Not scrupulous" was. I had him look up the word "Scrupulous" in this dictionary and not only did he find it, he found a meaning that he could understand.

So far so good! He absolutely loves it because it's hard copy and more durable than his paperback one that fell to shreds after 1 year. However, kids can be rough page turners and the paper is thin. Just have them be careful and this book will last a while!

The seller delivered this book as promised and in great condition. There was little wear and tear and the pages are crisp. Thanks.

satisfied with product and service, usable for many years to come, given to 3rd party

For whatever reason, this book is not user friendly. When looking up a word, the book will refer you to ANOTHER WORD.....I don't understand the style this dictionary has. It is USELESS and lacking definitions for TONS OF WORDS.

STICK TO YOUR OLD DICTIONARY. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT.

excellent i love it my kids used it everyday and so do i.
