The new edition of the SCHOLASTIC RHYMING DICTIONARY has been completely redesigned to become a kid-friendly resource for finding that perfect rhyme, whether for poetry, prose, song writing, etc.Organized by vowel sounds and final syllables, this illustrated rhyming dictionary uses its own easy-to-use, accurate pronunciation system. The student writer looks up the ending sound of a word, which is listed alphabetically, and finds a list of matching rhymes ranging from the everyday to the extraordinary to modern slang. The list includes appropriate words with the same ending sound, regardless of the spelling. An introduction includes the basics of listening for rhyme, with emphasis on sounds, stressed syllables, and different spellings of same sounds.

With over 15,000 words, it has enough for an aspiring poet to be very useful without overwhelming a reader. Although more advanced poets should turn to Sue K. Young's other rhyming dictionary, The New Comprehensive American Rhyming Dictionary, it is perfect in a classroom. I originally bought this book from my 7th grade literature teacher and immediately found good use. For the past five years, it has been of great convenience and has been one of the books I keep at the side of my desk.When writing a poem for school assignments or merely to express my own emotional state, or convey a story, it has definitely come in handy. Although I am currently looking for a new, more comprehensive rhyming dictionary, this book is great for beginners.
Wow! I was really surprised with the quality of this book - It is a very well organized book of rhyming words, which is a handy thing to have around! The rhyming words are listed alphabetically by number of syllables. I bought 3 of these for friends of mine who are going into University journalism courses, and they were thrilled. These things aren't just for "ages eight and up" as it states on the back; everyone can have fun with a rhyming dictionary!It's also really fun to just read the rhyming words out loud quickly in front of a group of people. It's an excellent "coffee-table book" in that sense! More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
I bought this book to use when I teach poetry to children, and ended up using it for my own poems, too. This book is useful and lots of fun.
When you need to make up a poem, a story, a song, a rap, a slogan, or a greeting card, this book comes in handy!
This is a super book that will not only increase you and your child's vocabulary, but will become a useful tool for your kids' writing assignments for school! I've had numerous writing assignments come home from my grade school kids that required rhyming and creative writing. This book came in SOOOOOO handy, it really gave us an advantage and allowed us to create more vivid stories than trying to come up with rhyming words instead of out of our over used and limited words off the top of our head. When in question, we reach for THE SCHOLASTIC RHYMING DICTIONARY!RECOMMENDED!
This is a wonderful resource for use in an elementary school classroom. I use mine not only for help in writing silly songs or poetry, but find it useful for promoting phonemic awareness in struggling readers. The children enjoy reading the lists of rhyming words, and gain confidence with their ability to decode previously unknown words.
This is an easy-to-use rhyming dictionary that kids can understand: they can learn things about spelling, too, without paying attention to spelling directly. The header notes are clear and easy, the rhymes include slang, and art work illustrates a few of the words, more for a humorous effect than anything else. A very reliable book.
I wish this dictionary was still in print! I use this in my classroom and it is easily accessible to elementary students who love to look up rhyming words when we do poetry. I've looked at some other rhyming dictionaries but they are too difficult for kids and have too many "hard" words and not enough "kid" words. This one is perfect.
