Newbury House Dictionary of American English 4th Edition with Integrated Thesaurus - Book & CD Set | Comprehensive American English Reference for Students & Professionals | Perfect for ESL Learning, Academic Writing & Business Communication

We have been traveling in Asia for three years and so I homeschool my children. I bought several dictionaries, but I was not happy with them. I think the difference lies in the examples this dictionary gives on each definition of each word. I find this so helpful because the sentences give a more thorough understanding of a word. With a BA in literature and a JD, I can give examples, but giving my children a resource that enables them to work independantly is beneficial. My youngest son is starting to incorporate the words he learned in his daily speech, which did not happen prior to using Newbury. He can express himself more creatively. He sounds more authoritative. I enjoy using this book in our studies and am thankful we have it.
