I reviewed a couple of electronic dictionaries online and there is no ONE perfect dictionary that would have all the features that one would want. But this one is the closest to what I have always wanted. It has a wide range of vocabulary - easily accessed. It is simple in use and fun to use too. I like it and advise it to anyone who wants to work with their vocabulary and pronunciation :) (I'm from Europe :-)

The American Heritage Children's Thesaurus

The American Heritage Children's Thesaurus Reviews



More Picture


We purchased the American Heritage Dictionary for a class of second-graders, and this thesaurus is a great supplement. It offers a clear explanation at the beginning of the book of its use. Each entry word is followed by the italicized part of speech under which it is classified, followed by a sentence using the word. You are then offered usually a small list of synonyms. There are boxes on the pages, pretty much at random, which give word groups relating to some subject area (a hotel, for instance). Everything is geared towards elementary comprehension, without being dumbed down.br /br /If I were offering a thesaurus to a middle school child, I might tend to reach for either a more advanced version by American Heritage, or the excellent American Education Publishing's Children's Thesaurus. br /br /But the most important thing is to give the child the opportunity to find the right word and to learn that the verbal toolbox can be as precise as one which tunes a rocket engine.

The American Heritage Children's Thesaurus Feature

  • Sold As: Each
Is this a conventional thesaurus? Regular and standard? Or would you say it was more extraordinary--exceptional and outstanding? Paul Hellweg's IThe American Heritage Children's Thesaurus/I is both, actually. It provides everything you'd expect from a children's thesaurus--4,000 words with over 36,000 synonyms--but it is unusually clear and colorfully presented. Each deep purple entry includes its part of speech in italics, and lists the suggested synonyms in bold, best matches first. Each word is used in a sentence to clarify its meaning. Color photographs are sprinkled throughout for visual relief, and "Antonyms" and "Word Groups" boxes help expand vocabulary choices. Word groups are reserved for words like "international," which doesn't have a real synonym but a cluster of closely related words such as "communal, global, national, planetary, universal," and "worldwide." If your favorite students tend to overuse words like "nice," "funny," and "weird" (and who doesn't, really?), this handy reference will have them turning a phrase with finesse. (Ages 8 to 12) Even young writers have to think about choosing the right word. This popular, easy-to-use thesaurus can help children in the middle grades make the best choice to suit their meaning and enliven their writing.BR• 4,000 main entries, with more than 36,000 synonyms in allBR• Hundreds of Word Group and Antonym features for extra word power

We homeschool our 2 kids (ages 8 11) and my 11 year old needed something on his level and this fit his style and level and will be able to keep him for a couple of years.br /br /I'll leave that part up there so you can see my very basic original review. In the past year we find ourselves looking up more and more online vs using this dictionary. Though both kids can and do use it - a lot of the vocabulary words we seem to need are not even listed making it frustrating for both of us. We have an older dictionary which I make them use just so they know how - but instead of investing in this one - I would save money, get an older dictionary, then let them look up words on-line. I can find so many other places to spend my at this point - but we still keep this one around.

GREAT RESOURCE - Joseph H. Race - SAIPAN, MP United States
Glad I bought this resource for the whole family to use and enjoy. I bounces from child to child, and then up to mom and dad, and then to the neighbor. It's used almost every day and is already showing some signs of being dog-eared, but the strong binding is holding up well. A great resource for every household.

broken - toy train lover -
Two weeks and the screen is cracked and useless. I had it in my purse with the lid closed, but I guess the cover is so flimsy that it didn't protect the screen. If I were to buy it again, and I'm not, I would also buy a hard case to keep it in. Can't discuss the features because I never had a chance to really explore them.

Wheres my paper back dictionary - ctrini50 - New York
I have an older version of Webster Dictinary program (32 bit) that was simpliar to install and ease in usage....This version is limited (64 bit) in that it doesnt help in possible spelling ...it has a postive in that it gives an overwhelming amount of inforamtion of the morphology of the word.......Over allit serves its purpose.

Not as good as older version - Bob Faulkner - MT
I have been using MW Dictionary and Thesaurus v.3.0 with XP. It had a great Macro system that was quick and easy to use. I upgraded to Windows 7 and I had hoped that this program would work in a similar way. It does not. You have to open the program and type in the word. Longer and more difficult. I am not pleased with this product.
