Collins Primary Dictionary: Collins Children's Dictionaries

by Ginny Lapage, Judith Fisher

Part of the new Children's Dictionary range from Collins, Collins Primary Dictionary has been especially designed to support the language and literacy needs of children aged 8+. It places words within a context familiar to the student and extends and reinforces key dictionary skills by showing parts of speech (for example, whether a word is a noun or verb) and other forms of a word (for example plural forms as well as adjectival forms). Numbered definitions show multiple uses. Pronunication help is given for difficult or easily confusable words in a clear, easy-to-use way. Synonyms (similar words) and antonyms (opposite words) are given to build vocabulary and word power.The layout, highlighted headwords and colour guidewords plus the A-Z on every page should ensure that the dictionary is an easy-to-use reference tool. Colour illustrations and photographs add extra meaning and information.
