Part of the new Children's Dictioanry range from Collins, Collins Shorter School Dictionary has been especially designed to support the language and literacy needs of children aged 10+. This clear, concise dictionary will support pupils through SATs as well as fulfilling the literacy framework objectives for dictionary skills. It develops and reinforces essential dictionary features such as extended entries with multiple definitions, parts of speech (verb, noun, etc), derivations and inflexions (plurals, comparative forms, tenses of a verb,etc), guidewords and related words. It also provides etymologies for words from both modern languages and cultures and more ancient origins. Synonyms and antonyms are highlighted for common and overused words to encourage vocabulary building and enrich understanding. Word families are grouped together in word family boxes. Common prefixes and suffixes are highlighted and defined. An annotated introduction to using the dictionary takes children step by step through the essential features of the dicitonary and how to use them. Useful work lists and appendixes provide easy checkpoints and vocabulary builders. Grammar boxes, helpful tips and teasers and word games are provided thoroughout the dictionary to stimulate the user, making it not only a comprehensive reference tool but a valuable learning aid for independent and guided learning. Written by the author of the previous Collins Shorter School Dictionary, John McIlwain, the new Shorter School Dictionary has been carefully tailored to enable children to progress smoothly to using Collins New School Dictionary and Collins adult dictionaries. Also available in paperback.
