My daughter (4th) grade was having homework in which she continually needed a dictionary for home use. We purchased this one, and it has been very worth it. We have used it time and again all year long and will continue to do so. The definitions are easy to read and comprehend, as well as up to date. My daughter loves it and so do I. It is written for a child to read and understand, yet at the same time, the definitions are accurate and not "watered" down just because it is a dictionary for kids. I highly recommend it to all parents of kids who will need help with definitions in their homework and also, as they read for pleasure. Finally, I AM a teacher, and as I teacher I recommend it HIGHLY as I have had many opportunities to compare it to many other dictionaries.... and this is one of the best!!
I have 8th graders that are academically challenged. This dictionary provides good definitions, a sentence using the word, and sometimes even a picture. The kids love it and feel like they understand a definition when they look it up. With other dictionairies, the definitions are written on a level which seems to make the assumption that you already know a lot of vocabulary. This dictionary breaks down meanings without losing the the ability to appear erudite in the process. It more than suits the students' needs and mine.
Macmillan Dictionary for Students is one of the best dictionary available for Middle Schoolers, High Schoolers, and people who like to use simple dictionaries. The trouble with many college and unabridged dictionaries is that you can look up a word and find several more in the definitions that you then need to look up. I have a large vocabulary, but don't like to get into these "word chains." Macmillan defines a large number of words of the high school and even college level and gives very precise and accurate definitions. It also is one of the few simple dictionaries that gives word derivations. The Webster's New World Student's (high school) also gives derivations; but I find Macmillan's derivations to be more complete and understandable. The Macmillans definitions are also simpler. I use this dictionary myself and also bought one for my son and nephew for their college studies. It's a perennial -- has been on the market for at least a decade or so because it's one of the best out there.
I made the decision to purchase this dictionary because I had one just like it when I was a kid. My son is just learning how to use a dictionary and like I knew, this is the best one for him. It's easy to use and also gives definitions he can understand. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
The dictionary has easy to understand definitions. My son has had to use an adult level dictionary to look up some words from 5th grade advanced vocabulary that were not in this one, but perhaps that is to be expected.
It is a good dictionary, not too simple but enough definitions to understand the meaning of the word. I like it as this dictionary as it is fairly complete.
Surprisingly thorough for a simple dictionary. Good, clear definitions. A very nice addition to the library.
The best dictionary I have found (and I've tried many) for classroom use, especially grades 5-10.
