I bought the dictionary and thesaurus for our homeschool library. I love them both. At the front of the book a lesson in thesaurus use, as well as parts of speech and other helpful language arts tid bits can be found. When there are no true synonyms for a word it is explained in a highlighted "Word Group" box by the specific entry. My six year old can use this thesaurus, and she will continue to use it for quite some time. It is quite helpful and user friendly! Example from book: helpful adjective beneficial, handy, useful, valuable, practical, good, productive, constructive. My friend gave me some helpful advice. Antonyms: useless, worthless Or Word Group Shoes are outer coverings for the human foot. Shoe is a general term sieht no true synonyms. Here are some common types of shoes: athletic shoes, brogan, brogue, clodhopper, clog, flats, gym shoe, high heels, Loafers, mule, oxford, patent leather, pumps, running shoe, sabot, sandal, tennis shoe, wingtip, work shoe
Just what we needed

As a homeschooling mom I was furstrated with the old edition we were trying to use. This one has been perfect though I know we will have to get a more advanced one as the kids get older.
If you teach children you must have this book!

This book is an amazing resource for children. My children literally fight over who gets to use the book next. I highly recommend it for any classroom grades 4-7.

Teaching fifth graders English is a large task. It is hard to find meaningful resources to assist in the writing process. I highly recommend this thesaurus for any teacher wanting to improve student vocabulary and teach reference skills. My children literally fight over who gets to use the book next!
