mamamindy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Please. :) I've asked before...but it was some time ago and I cannot find it. I need it for my 8yo who is doing some dictionary work, and the one we have isn't really ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Which one do you have? Do you want a childrens dictionary or do you think you're ready for a collegiate dictionary? I asked about dictionaries a little while ago and had to make a cross post for lack of response. This is the thread that got some replies, maybe you will see some books in there that you like.

Hunter Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 We use this one. Merriam-Webster Concise Dictionary Large Print Edition http://www.amazon.com/Merriam-Webster-Concise-Dictionary/dp/0877796440 The respellings are large and easy to read. The definitions are concise. If the student needs more, then they consult the Merriam-Webster Collegiate, but 99% of the time this one is enough and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're the one who recommended one to me and I really like the idea of a large print version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 My students have really enjoyed learning to use the respellings. It's empowering to be able to look up how to pronounce a word. Also, the other tutor says it's impossible to learn dictionary respellings. :confused: So of course every student she has told that to, loves to be able to prove her wrong. :001_smile: She just brushes them off, not really believing they can do it, but they know they can. This dictionary is usable even for my students with dyslexia. We also use the Scrabble Dictionary for the best one word definitions. Especially if we are making flashcards.
