The Dorling Kindersley Children's Illustrated Dictionary is specifically aimed at children of seven years and up, an age when children are becoming increasingly independent readers and writers and when a dictionary can be a valuable companion.


Words and Pictures كلمات وصور
Unlike many other dictionaries, the Children's Illustrated Dictionary is not just about words — it also contains pictures. Children today are used to information being presented in a visual form through television, videos, and computers, and are skilled readers of images. As a result, they require books to be increasingly visually sophisticated.
The colorful photographs and illustrations in this dictionary are fresh, exciting, and highly relevant to children's interests and concerns. These images will help to draw young readers into the book, and also work with the text to give clear and concise definitions.

Vital Skills for Readers and Writers مهارات أساسية لمن يقرأ ويكتب
Using a dictionary can teach children many useful skills. One of the most important is the ability to locate information that is organized in alphabetical order. Once acquired, this skill will enable them to use many other reference books, from telephone directories to encyclopedias, which are organized along the same principle. The clear design and layout of this dictionary makes it easy for children to learn how to look things up.
The Children's Illustrated Dictionary can also help to broaden vocabulary and improve spelling. Young readers and writers can find out for themselves what an unfamiliar word means, or check any spellings about which they are unsure.
In addition, this book will help children develop their awareness of words and the relationships between them. An introductory section explains the concept of parts of speech, such as nouns and verbs, which are also listed under each entry in the dictionary, while the end section looks at word beginnings and endings, spelling patterns, and common abbreviations.
