Scholastic Children's Thesaurus

Its a must book for any pre-k/k/1/2 graders (your mileage can vary). However, it is up to you, parents, to have your kids to use this book. If your precious asks you for a word definition - don't just tell them, send them to look it up in the book, you know, like "...give them a fish/teach them fishing..." story. This thesaurus has enough definitions and based on my humble opinion - a must!

Great for developing your kids vocabulary

These are a good level for my Firsties. We have fun making a game looking for "juicy" words! Another good tool for teaching the abc order concepts, also. Public school had torn and tattered books, so I bought my own set!

This is a good thesaurus contains many words. It is easy to read and use. It describes the words in many ways so the students understands.

I don't use it as reference to look-up synonyms. That can easily be done online or by using a more comprehensive thesaurus. I asked my 7-year old daughter to read the book entry by entry to expand her writing vocabulary. She already knows most of the words. Now she has an aid to organize and learn the nuance of the words, as each synonym also comes with its own explanation. On the other hand, many other thesauruses only list synomyms without any explanation. With each root word, there are only a few synonyms, so it's not overwhelming and perfect for browsing without getting tired quickly.

Just what I needed for home-school with my soon to be 4th grader. He loves it. Colorful and the print that is easy to read.

My daughter is in 3rd grade and needed a thesaurus for class. This one is really awesome for kids. It has some pictures and easy to understand for children.

Great for young writers and readers. Use thesaurus to help youngsters understand new words. They will find a word they know and see new word in a sentence helping them get a better understanding of vocabulary.

Perfect gift for my grandson .

Nice book

La mejor compra! Contenido, hojas, color es exelente.

見出し語500の同意語2500ですがとても実用的な構成で役に立ちます。 全ての単語には簡単な英文の解説と例文があるので、英文を少し読めるようになり始めたら是非お勧めです。解説や例文を読むだけでも勉強になるし、これらを使い分ける感覚を養えれば英語学習が楽しくなってくると思います。 例えばRUNの見出しにあるrun, jog, trot, dash, race, sprintをそれぞれ英語で説明できるようになります。

見出しの単語自体は簡単ですが、他の方のコメントを真似して、娘(中2)に読んでもらって答えようとすると、全然答えられません。娘は何とか読める程度なので勉強になるし、私も単語の理解をより深めらそうでよさそうです！どうやって続けていくかが問題ですね。
