The American Heritage Student Dictionary and The American Heritage Student Thesaurus Set

Rating:
Summary: Good reference for young readers
Review: The American Heritage Student Dictionary contains concise, easy to read definitions and helpful pictures, mostly of animals, historical figures, and illustrations of abstract concepts. The pictures are in black and white, but for the age that this reference tool is focused, I believe color pictures would have made the pages come to life more. The dictionary includes periodic table, taxonomy chart, historical era chart, and weights & measurements charts spread thoughout the book. I would have preferred these charts all at the beginning or end for easier usage.

Review: When I started school this year, the dictionary I had had writing that was hard for me to read. This dictionary is perfect for middle school students. It has all the middle school words, with easy to read print.
