sarahbobeara Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We have 2 dictionaries. A thick paperback one that is difficult for younger children to use...and the print seems to be shrinking, what the heck?!? :lol: and then a children's dictionary. The latter is easier to use (easy-to-read format, hard cover) but DD9 is constantly frustrated that she can't find her vocab words in the hardcover children's edition and forced to use that old paperback dictionary (insert 9 year old girl drama here). I was thinking of an intermediate dictionary (some are listed as grades 5-8) but maybe a collegiate one? Any suggestions for a long-lasting household/homeschool dictionary? And don't say dictionary.com!!! I love books and want a real dictionary in my hands, not pixels on a screen!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We got the Oxford American dictionary & thesaurus. The thesaurus is integrated into the dictionary entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
