The best dictionary for me

This dictionary is well suited for me because the definitions are not confusing like in most dictionaries. Also it seems like it has just the right amount of words. I can find everything I look for, but also it's not full of medical and scientific words that I know I'll never need. There is nothing I dislike about this dictionary.

A Must for Homeschoolers

This is a great Dictionary, I even caught my son looking up words on his own that were not assigned. A Must have for Middle Grades

More than 100,000 entries providing authoritative definition

Now in a fully revised and illustrated edition specifically designed for students in grades 9 to 11, Merriam-Webster's School Dictionary is an essential, core, and thoroughly "kid friendly" reference. With more than 100,000 entries providing authoritative definitions, spellings, and pronounciations, more than 1,000 clear illustrations and tables, and over 15,000 useage examples, the Merriam-Webster' School Dictionary is a crystal clear, easy-to-use resource that presents solid information without relying on excessively small font size to strain young eyes. Also very solidly recommended is the Merriam-Webster's Intermediate Dictionary (0877795797, $17.95) for middle school students in grades 5 to 8.

The BEST!

My students and I constantly go through the dictionary finding possible and impossible words and this dictionary has been the one to always have the information we need in a way that we were able to understand (It also hard for the teacher sometimes). Many times when you use a dictionary the definition is stated in words that you have to lookup again anyway. This is the one you and your children will always be able to understand quickly!
