I draw up a list of 20 new random words each day, and testing her firstly on the definitions of those words, and then on the synonyms of those words. Her confidence is blooming as a result of using these new found words. One other point, its heartening, when the children take the initiative to look for words of their own volition. I wholeheartedly endorse this dictionary. It is a fantastic way of expanding one's vocabulary, and is not restricted just to children. Adults will find that they learn a lot of new words, which they will incorporate into their everyday lexicon. At £ 3.99, its a steal.
Review: very good - its in excellent condition,and really good price.
