The revised SCHOLASTIC DICTIONARY OF SPELLING has been updated with
1,000 new words and an all-new design that will make it the choice for
young writers to turn to for an instant spell-check.
With a brand new design, 1,000 additional words, and new fun sections
like "The Four Longest Words in the English Language" and "The Spelling
Words That Made Kids Champions," this is the perfect spelling resource
for students. The introduction gives instructions for looking up a word
the reader does not necessarily know how to spell, offers more than 150
memory tricks to correct commonly misspelled words, and clearly explains
general spelling rules (and their exceptions). Furthermore, to aid
pronunciation, each word is divided into syllables with the accented
syllable in boldface.
