Great book for Yr 3-4 in literacy hour (13/13 people found this helpful)
We searched for an easy to use rhyming dictionary for use in the literacy hour and this was the best one found so far! All the others seem to require a degree to use them. In this one you just look up a word or a prefix or suffix and the list is there. one word of warning though some words rhyme with words which make young children snigger e.g sick....
A great book for poets of all ages (5/5 people found this helpful)
I bought this book to use when I teach poetry to children, and ended up using it for my own poems, too. This book is useful and lots of fun.
Good for poems (1/2 people found this helpful)
When you need to make up a poem, a story, a song, a rap, a slogan, or a greeting card, this book comes in handy!
A more useful reference book than you'd imagine... (9/9 people found this helpful)
Wow! I was really surprised with the quality of this book - It is a very well organized book of rhyming words, which is a handy thing to have around! The rhyming words are listed alphabetically by number of syllables. I bought 3 of these for friends of mine who are going into University journalism courses, and they were thrilled. These things aren't just for "ages eight and up" as it states on the back; everyone can have fun with a rhyming dictionary!
It's also really fun to just read the rhyming words out loud quickly in front of a group of people. It's an excellent "coffee-table book" in that sense! More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
