Scholastic Children’s Dictionary Back-To-School Blog Tour means it is that time again. Back-to-school is approaching fast and it is time to get the school supplies together for the upcoming year. Among all the folders, paper, scissors and glue you will be getting for your children don’t forget an all important supply, a dictionary. And not just any dictionary, the Scholastic Children’s Dictionary. It has a place front and center on our bookshelf where all three of my kids can see it and use it. I know technology is great with all the advancements but nothing beats having an actual book in your hand to be able to go right to the word and see the definition and even a picture which is awesome for my younger kids.

With exciting features, accessible definitions and helpful illustrations and photographs throughout, the new Scholastic Children’s Dictionary is the essential resource that belongs in every home, classroom and library.

The 2010 edition of the Scholastic Children’s Dictionary features more than 1,000 full-color photographs, simple sentences, illustrations, and diagrams as well as newly commissioned maps of the world, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. There are hundreds of new and expanded entries written by a prominent lexicographer as well as thousands of additional sample sentences to illustrate word usage. The dictionary also includes guides on grammar, punctuation and idioms and simplified pronunciations created with real kids in mind! The new Scholastic Children’s Dictionary is an essential resource that belongs in every home, classroom, and library.

I love Scholastic’s dictionary because my kids do, it’s that simple. Education is important to me and Scholastic is a trusted brand in that field. And even though my kids don’t attend public school, I too need to get our school supplies together for the upcoming year. So when you are thinking of clothes, book bags, pens and pencils don’t forget to pick up your copy of the Scholastic Children’s Dictionary.
