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.

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

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.

I'm a college student and usually, I just keep my phone out in class so that I can use the dictionary.com app to look up big words people use in class that I don't understand. This semester I have a teacher who is total antiphones in class and won't let us use them so, therefore, I have no clue what she is saying because she doesn't know how to put things simply. She has to use big words to explain things that don't need big words. I ordered this so that I could use it in class and look up all the words she was saying so that I can keep up with the lecture and found that this dictionary didn't have half of the words she was using. This dictionary is small and only uses basic words with just a few advanced vocabulary. It would be perfect for a grade school student.
