School Spelling Dictionary by Christine Maxwell
A fresh new edition of this highly acclaimed and strong selling dictionary. This book allows students to use phonic attack to find both regular and irregular spellings. Students can look up a word as it sounds - if they are correct, they will find it in black, if they are wrong they will find it in red, with the correct spelling in black alongside. Designed for use from Key Stages 1 to 3, the School Spelling Dictionary is ideal for improving spelling and writing.

Helps also to boost his confidence." - Parent, Amazon Review 'A useful addition to any key stage 2 or 3 classroom' - Writeaway 'The Barrington Stoke school dictionary allows children with specific spelling difficulties to use a dictionary just like anybody else... The children I have introduced this dictionary to like it very much, and find it easy to use.' - Teacher "It's brilliant! And for all those who struggle to spell it really is a fantastic help! ... This dictionary is so easy to navigate and a big help for reluctant spellers of all ages." - Family Magazine
Christine Maxwell worked as a teacher in Oxford in the 70s. It was while teaching that she came up with the idea to write a dictionary that her own students could use even if they did not know how to spell. She wrote The Dictionary of Perfect Spelling in 1977 and it became an international bestseller. In 2005 she wrote the hugely successful revised edition for Barrington Stoke.
