Dictionary

by Betty Root

Published November 1991
The simple text and large, clear typeface of this series is designed for younger readers, while the topics and compact format are intended to appeal to older ones - particularly those with reading difficulties. Colour illustrations occupy two-thirds of each page, and inset boxes support the text with facts and figures. Containing more than 600 carefully chosen words defined in everyday language, this dictionary also includes example sentences showing how particular words are used. The book begins with an explanation of what dictionaries are for and how we use them.
