5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginning writers, February 7, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Scholastic Dictionary Of Spelling (Paperback)
I got this for my 6 year old daughter and it has given her so much independence in her writing homework. It has cut down on "mom, how do you spell....." It is an excellent reference for any child. Very easy to use. It's a great confidence builder too!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Scholastic Dictionary Of Spelling (Paperback)
I bought this for my 5th grader and he tells me it is much easier to use than a regular dictionary. I know that it is easier for me to get him to look up words he needed to spell than it was when he had only a dictionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter is 7 and she loves it!, August 27, 2007
Not only does my daughter love this book, but her teacher wanted to see it and loves it too. It's an excellent book for allowing a child to be able to find out how to spell a word by themselves. And since they do the work of actually looking up the word, it reinforces the spelling that much more within their minds.

There are several pages of useful information on how to spell words and on how to use the book effectively. My daughter has read parts of this and has learned much about spelling. It has improved her spelling abilities in school (she now gets 106% on her tests) and made her more self-reliant, which is important to me.

I'd recommend getting this book and Merriam Webster Children's Dictionary together, as one is good for looking up spelling, and the other is a great reference for definitions.
