The complete text of the American Heritage Children's Dictionary is now on CD-ROM! This highly regarded reference has been electronically enhanced with color, sound, and animation to provide your students with an outstanding language art tool!
Students easily locate entry words by incremental scrolling down an animated database in the Word Machine. Definitions are displayed with syllables, phonetic spellings, pronunciations, verb tense, plurals, parts of speech, guide words, illustrations, and complete meanings. With instant access to 37,000 hyperlinked entries, your students can take advantage of an extensive database to discover the meanings of new words.
Students learn more about the origin and history of words, idiomatic speech, homophones, homographs, synonyms, antonyms in the Word Detective section, and they can discover nuances of meaning using the built-in thesaurus. Word of the Day and Random provide vocabulary-building activities that can be used on an individual, small group or classroom-wide basis. Additionally, three multi-level games, Hangman, Charades and Spelling Bee, incorporate entry words to draw students in lively word play that improves vocabulary power and spelling skills.
The American Heritage Children's Dictionary is an imaginative exploration of words that enhances students' understanding of the English language. It runs concurrently with word processing applications, so students have ready access to a dictionary as they write.
