Junior Dictionary (First Picture Dictionaries) Book

Vividly illustrated with bright, full-color illustrations by award-winning children's artists, books in the Children's First Picture Dictionaries series speak to kids at progressive age levels. Books combine artwork and/or photo illustrations with bold and easy-to-read word labels and definitions. Parents are encouraged to use these books as aids in teaching children the preliminaries of reading and writing at home. The books also make great teacher's helpers in classrooms, from Pre-K through early grades. Kids who open Junior Dictionary take a giant step toward learning to use adult-style dictionaries. A step-by-step introduction shows kids what a dictionary can teach them about words, and how they can get the most out of the book's features. Each alphabetically listed word is supplemented with a color illustration or photo and an easy definition. Additional information includes the word's part of speech (noun, verb, etc.), and other words that are derived from it—for instance, as "bravely" and "bravery" are derived from the adjective, "brave." Example sentences demonstrate word usage in context. Appendices include theme pages, wordbanks, and an easy introduction to grammar.Read More
