About Merriam-Webster's First Dictionary, Illustrations
Written for children in grades K-2, ages 5-7 this beginner's dictionary is an indispensable tool for introducing young readers to 3,000 words using 1,000 entries and hundreds of captivating illustrations by Ruth Heller. And it can be a wonderful tool to help with homeschooling and remote learning. Full sentences are used to discuss definitions, common phrases, and usage examples in age-appropriate language to show how words are used in context. Many entries include alternate meanings, word histories, related words, and the way words sound. This dictionary teaches basic dictionary skills: alphabetization, spelling, parts of speech, letter sounds, use of synonyms and antonyms, homographs and homophones. Jokes, riddles, poems, and fun facts based on word play make learning fun. References to popular stories, fairy tales, myths, and nursery rhymes spark imagination and encourage language exploration.
