Media Reviews
This book is brilliant for my son who has dyslexia. He can look up words the way he 'thinks' they are spelt, and the correct spelling clearly appears next to them. Helps also to boost his confidence. - Parent, Amazon Review 'A useful addition to any key stage 2 or 3 classroom' - Writeaway 'The Barrington Stoke school dictionary allows children with specific spelling difficulties to use a dictionary just like anybody else... The children I have introduced this dictionary to like it very much, and find it easy to use.' - Teacher It's brilliant! And for all those who struggle to spell it really is a fantastic help! ... This dictionary is so easy to navigate and a big help for reluctant spellers of all ages. - Family Magazine
