I didn't realize when I ordered it that his is a thick pocket size book. Nevertheless, it has proven to be very useful to my students, so I am happy. It also includes some helpful rules in the beginning of the book.

I can use the dictionary, but there was one drawback: The printing is of a very light shade. A little hard to see. Not bad enough to reject or send back, but I would have liked darker print. No further problems.

I am somewhat disappointed in this book since I use it a lot and it doesn't have a lot of words that I was use to in a very old speller I had. Also the pages are glued in and are very easey to pull out. Would not buy this book again.

The spelling dictionary is perfect for our needs. My husband is an unconfident speller. He has been asking me to be his spell-checker for years (long before computers) - but now, he can do it himself! It is easy to use and conveniently small.

Correctly spelled words are listed alphabetically, with occasional brief definitions to distinguish synonyms, and other easily confused words. You have to have a basic idea of how the word is spelled to use this.

This book is of great use in our homeschool classroom. I have also seen it widely used in the public school system that my children attended. Most teachers had this book on their desk for the children to use. I would highly recommend it for any household.
