_The_Clear_and_Simple_Thesaurus_Dictionary is the most practical thesaurus I have found for use with my fourth- and fifth-grade students. Unlike many thesauruses, it is formatted in a style that students (and adults!) will find familiar and easy to use. While not as comprehensive in scope as those designed for college use, this thesaurus allows students the satisfaction of finding synonyms or associated words for almost any word they might need. I had not found this to be true of other "beginning" thesauruses, which was a frustration to both my students and to me. This gem was a major find, and is now in regular use in my classroom. I highly recommend it to any teacher of intermediate or junior high age students, as well as to parents who want a truly helpful resource for their school-age children.

I could not expect anything more from a thesauras. This has all the words I, through my preteen years, have needed, without boggling my mind with lots of words that I never try to use. I don't feel overwhelmed, but I DO find the information I need.

I ordered these because I love using the earlier editions with my second grade class. This edition was revised to the point that it is no longer accessible to second graders. It is now a thesaurus and a dictionary. I liked it more as just a thesaurus. The typeface is much smaller now. I returned them. I will order more of the earlier edition.

I purchased this book several years ago in a local bookstore, when my daughter was entering the fifth grade. She had difficulty in reading skills, and comprehension. In addition, she needed a dictionary to not only enhance reading and comprehension skills, but a thesaurus that was simple, and concise. This book was the perfect choice, and it helped her a great deal for many years, while she used it as her favorite reference.This book not only defines words in simple terms, but also teaches the use of synonyms, and antonyms. There are hundreds of lists of words, words are given with similar meaning, and is an introduction to words the student may not already know. This book will enhance vocabulary, and is a great learning tool. Highly recommended!

This book has, unfortunately, been a disappointment for me. From reading the reviews written by others, I had high hopes for it, but it has not lived up to them in my family's particular experience. I bought this dictionary specifically for my son (age 12) to use, but literally every time he has tried to use it to look up a word he needs, it happens to be a word that has not been included. Just our dumb luck, I guess, but it seems this book is better suited to those in grades 1-4 and probably not beyond that.

This was purchases for a parent needed a way to replace the words his son was using. Example: Don't say "I hate that" say "That annoys me" or don't say "He is so stupid" say "He is misguided". Changing the terms and expanding our childrens vocabulary to reflect their true view can be learned at a young age. This book is a great resource for adults, and as they grow children too.

After looking through many thesaurus (for children and adults) to find a good one for my first grader, I chose this one. It is easy to use. Print is not too little. The only thing that I am not crazy about is the size of the book, a little too big, but nothing too bad. Overall I think it is the best choice for an elementary school student who loves to write!

This was ordered before I found the Writer's Thesaurus. Both are wonderful books, This particular book would be well used by a beginning student or home school.O kept it anyway, I hate to return anything!Price was refreshing, but 's books are always refreshing.
