At last! A book that helps kids become independent spellers! Anyone who has taught writing has heard the familiar phrase "How do you spell this word?" Over 1,300 color, kid-friendly drawings -- grouped by themes -- that help even the youngest writers become successful authors. Excellent for English as a second language learners as well.

For young children this is an excellent title to move on to after Usborne's First Hundred Words. The thematic collections of commonly used words are ideal for developing language and word associations. The style of illustrations is similar to that commonly used in preschool and early elementary testing.

"My first grade students love this book! The picture help them get ideas for writing simple sentences and the spelling is right there for them. I love that the book is in thematical order and not just in alphabetic like a lot of picture dictionaries. I would recommend this book to any elementary school teacher." Ms Hill
