I would recommend reading levels for elementary into middle school. — FYI Surrounded by readers who test 3+ grades above actual grade, that may skew my view of the reading levels 😉 Purchased for a curious kiddo, she’s always reading and asking questions to understand what a new word means. Sure she knows to look for context clues but that doesn’t always satisfy her curiosity. She wants to dig deeper! She’s that one who will “randomly” start reading the dictionary should it be on hand, it leads to conversations that catch adults off guard. > Example: kiddo was 9 when she read through Laminations “just because”. Shocking me with questions during a nature walk 😳 I never know what she’ll come up with next 😂 Therefore, I chose to purchase the student dictionary over the regular one, thought it would be geared towards what she’s most likely to encounter verses everything under the sun. Additionally her previous teachers in elementary school had it their classrooms, she would occasionally bring a copy home and really wanted one and ask for her very own copy pretty please. At the time she didn’t take good care of her books; I waited until she showed responsibility with all books before surprising her with this gift. 🤓 Kiddo’s face absolutely lit up after unwrapping her very own student dictionary. YAY! It has been useful with middle school homework and referenced while reading for fun. >Her reading level is 9th grade > not actual grade level SUMMARY Recommend? Yes Elementary students: Yes Middle school students: Yes High school students: No College students: No Durability: good (paperback) - thicker cover - holding up 6+ months use - has wear and tear, expected Only in backpack for — weekend trips — road trips — flights Over all: + Perfect for intended student + Great for homework + Helpful for recreational reading + Handy reference source + Doesn’t require data or internet + Work’s without a screen 😉 - Around 8th - 9th grade reading levels it’s notable it — won’t have certain words — is “too simple” — becomes frustrating for advanced students wanting a detailed definition ~ I’m pleased with the purchase, my student has continued to refer to her student dictionary. The paperback version is easy to bring with on her travels.

Just what my grandson needed to good English class.

Seems like an ok dictionary for "kids 8-11", but I was surprised there's no pronunciation key with the entries. Not bad for $5, but if you want a better quality you may wish to spend more. Has word "exist" but does not have "existential" or "existentialism". Most preteen users don't need such deep thought anyway, lol.

This really helps you with spelling clarifications because my phone's autocorrect is horrible.

Nothing special, but my grandson uses it
