Product Description
Book Description
A major new edition of the Oxford Junior Thesaurus, featuring over 20,000 synonyms, opposites, writing tips, and inspiring example sentences from the best children's books, and writing support
Product Description
This edition of the Oxford Junior Thesaurus contains entries in alphabetical order, and a broad range of imaginative and adventurous synonyms with supporting example sentences. It also features useful panels focussing on overused words and writing tips. The pages are clear, accessible. A unique feature that will inspire budding writers is the example sentences by well-known children's authors, such as Dick King-Smith, Narinda Dhami, Jacqueline Wilson and Roald Dahl. These show the words actually in use to hook users in to using language effectively themselves. Unique to Oxford, they are a real boost for children writing independently. The full alphabet appears on every page with a coloured tab on the letter of the page - plus the thesaurus quartiles are picked out in a vibrant colour. Together, these are invaluable navigation tools for the child practising their alphabet skills. Guidewords also appear on every page. Extra material at the back is accurately levelled to the curriculum for this age. The Top 10 Tips for Writing Stories are excellent. More help for better writing is given with the tips for spelling success, punctuation, simple grammar, and character and setting vocabulary.

The bright clear layout of that makes it easy for a child (KS2/KS3) to pick up and use. It is brightly coloured, and sections are broken up with boxed items and graphics which stop this appearing like yet another dictionary.
We found this could be used for homework straight away and is proving a great vocabulary builder.

Just brilliant! I bought this for our 8 year old daughter and found it to be far more than I expected. Clearly displayed and colourful. Loved the idea that some of the words show opposites and some of the words are described in sentences to help children understand. At the back of the book it also has suggestions for writing letters, exploring nouns, punctuation , suffixes, similies, etc, etc. Would recommend this to all primary children as a great aid with literacy.

Bought this for my Year 5 daughter to use at school. She has now brought it home for her Year 2 sister instead! Although wonderfully laid out, with lots of great tips for good writing, the actual range of alternative vocabulary is very limited. Will now be seeking an alternative.
