Webster's New Pocket Dictionary

This pocket dictionary is the perfect size and a great addition to the backpack of any student! I purchased this for my 6th grade daughter who is always asking me what a particular word means. I could give her the answer, but how long would she retain the meaning. Instead, I tell her to “look it up!” This helps her in so many ways (resourcefulness, spelling, and last but not least; word retention). I don’t really see any drawbacks to this dictionary. It’s a great size and has enough words to meet her needs. I was surprised not to be able to find a dictionary in stores. I would definitely purchase again or recommend to a friend.

Fits in my son's backpack. I bought it so he can look up words from the novels he reads in class. He has pulled it out outside of homework purposes to look up words. I love it.

I went to a Church of Rome school in the 1960's. We never learned how to spell. I know there about a thousand spell programs out there, but the old adage still holds true. How can you look up a word if you don't know how to spell it. This book sits right next to my laptop. I may not use it now more than twice a week, but it is well worth the price. Nice compact size , smaller than a 4x 6 index card. Not every word you need to look up is going to be in a 330 page book

I ordered this for my son who needs it for school, the book is perfect for little ones to hold without saying its too big and bulky. Has about every word you can possibly think of in the dictionary its just a smaller size than those big bulky ones!! I am glad I went with this choice rather than the other dictionaries I was previously looking at!

Small type face and limited content but it is, after all, a pocket dictionary, so you would expect that. It is quite compact and easy to pack or put in a pocket and the price was very reasonable. I bought it for a friend who is an adult learning to read English so he could take it with him, making it convenient to use and in that respect, it is successful.

I bought this for my 8 year old as I felt my child should learn how to use a dictionary instead of using "Google" or "Siri" all the time. It is pocket sized and is great if your child reads on the go. This way if a word comes up that they don't know, they can look it up wherever they are instead of using their phone or asking you to define the word.

Love the size it works great for my middle school children.

I purchased this for my 9 year-old son so he would have a dictionary in his backpack. This is the perfect size and weight. It is not too bulky and even fits into his binder. It is convenient for him to take it in and out of his backpack. He also uses it at home when doing his homework. It is an excellent tool for a student.
