Customer Reviews

Very useful book

This is a very useful book for anyone interested in synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms.

Great Fun For Kids!

New readers love to learn the differences in words. My after school kids set a timer so each gets equal time with this book, They love it.

Classroom resource

This is a quick reference for classroom use. Sometimes a teacher cannot come up with one of these elements and this reference helps.

Scholastic Dictionary of Syn, Ant, and Hom

A quick, efficient reference with the most commonly used words for students on the go

Good quick reference

A good quick reference book, but I will say that some words are not listed. It is focused for 2nd - 5th grade in my opinion. A handy addition for a home reference library!

Great teacher help

I use this book in my classroom. It helps my students come up with better ways of saying and writing things. It is quicker for them to look through than a thesaurus. It helps ESL students widen their vocabulary easily. It also helps me when I work on papers while getting my Master's degree. It is a great aid.
