excellent for key stage 1
This book is a great first dictionary. It has a large clear format, enabling the youngest readers to quickly find what they are looking for. It is a useful reference for anyone working with the 5-8 section to explain key words in a yong and friendly way. Lots of pictures. It really is for the younger children though, and I would suggest a different book for any children in year 2 and above.
