This was a required purchase at my son's private school. He is in 5th grade, and this dictionary has proven to be a very valuable resource. The definitions are clear and concise. This dictionary is one that can grow along with him, instead of rebuying the next age appropriate resource. I expect that he will continue to use it for many years.
This dictionary was the dictionary we'd bought for the 4th grader (age 9) and 6th grader (age 12) in our house. We also bought a dictionary for lower grades and one for higher grades. This one though the title seems to suggest that it's more for middle or junior high school it works perfectly for higher elementary grades. It's just not as colorful and babyish as the Illustrated ones. I'd definitely suggest this for 3rd grade and up. It has lots of words and easy definitions.Though this was purchased for the 4th grader and 6th grader, the 1st grader likes to show off how easy it is to use this and will often take it and say it's his and look up the word that the 4th grader needed to know how to spell correctly and the definition for the word so they know that it is in fact the word that they were looking for.I definitely think that this is a really good dictionary and would suggest it for people who are trying to get their kids to be more avid in their studies along with knowing what resources they have for homework in the way of resource books.
I bought this dictionary for my 10-year old daughter, who is in 5th grade. She needed one to do her homework and the college one I had was too complicated for her. This Intermediate dictionary is just what she needed. It has all the necessary information, yet is more clear and easy for her to use. I also believe that it will be advanced enough for her to use for a few years. Highly recommend!
Merriam-Webster's Intermediate Dictionary, 1998 edition , is a good dictionary for students 11 - 14 years old.It claims a coverage of 65 000 entries ( definitions, spellings andpronunciations )selected on the basis of their occurrence in textbooks andin other school materials in all subjects.Word history paragraphs with many formal etymologies are found ; as well, paragraphs on differences in meaning that help keep synonyms distinct.Even usage notes are included . Prefixes as well with a list of wordscarrying that prefix.Content is up-to-date with words from the field of computers, technology and medicine.It also provides 1 000 illustrations but in black and white.it is surprisingly not heavy for its 940 pages and can be held inthe palm of one hand.
I bought this for my 6th grader's Kindle. It has only one word per page and no way to quickly flip to even the letter that you need. There is no search function to look up a word. It takes way to long to find a word. Wish I could return it or give it 0 stars. Waste of money on a Kindle.
As a reading, language arts, and writing teacher, it's virtually impossible to perform my job effectively if students do not have good dictionaries. I needed a classroom set of dictionaries and tirelessly searched for the best quality and price around. No buyer's remorse here! These dictionaries arrived in a timely manner and proved durable throughout the school year. This is an excellent resource and a great value.
I bought this dictionary for my 6-year old nephew (a 1st grader) and 8-year old niece (a 3rd grader), to accompany a game I gave them for Christmas, as well as help them with school. In less than 30 minutes, my niece was leafing through the dictionary, trying to find a word she wanted to use in a Thank You card she was making. Since Christmas, both of them have used the dictionary not only when they play their game, but also for their schoolwork.I recommend this dictionary if you are buying for more than one child, especially if they aren't quite at middle school level as they will grow into it, so to speak.
Fairly inclusive and readable print, but small enough to fit in a desk, locker or back pack. I've bought two; one for my daughter and my godson.
