This dictionary features the essential words found
in Year One teaching materials including English,
Maths and Social Studies, so that children need
to focus only on words relevant to that level. In
addition to vocabulary development, the dict-
ionary highlights words of similar form or meaning
in word study panels, bringing children’s attention
to the grammatical pattern or spelling devices for
such groups. To further help children use this
dictionary effectively, the definitions are usually
given in full sentences, followed by one or more
examples. For some meanings, full-colour
illustrations have also been included.
