Meant for children learning English

This is part of an instructional program for children learning English for the first time. It is not a dictionary for children who already speak English. It is very valuable, especially when used with the accompanying storybooks and educational activity packets.

A valuable resource

As a teacher of English as a Second Language, I have used many different picture dictionaries. The Oxford Picture Dictionary for Kids is very well organized and uses a group of characters that provide continuity throughout the dictionary. These characters provide a continual story line so that I use the dictionary not only for "finding words," but also as a base for teaching content-area information. The pictures are clear and well-defined and cover a large vocabulary spectrum.
