Synopsis

The award-winning Jolly Dictionary complements the Jolly Grammar books and is designed to teach children how to look up and understand words they don’t know. Teaching children how to use a dictionary will improve reading and writing, and help them become independent learners. The dictionary has been colour coded into four sections, (matching the Jolly Phonics Alphabet poster) so that children are able to quickly find the words they are looking for. A unique Pronunciation Guide is given for each of the 6,000+ age-appropriate words. The definitions have been carefully written so that children find them easy to read and understand. The Jolly Dictionary is also beautifully illustrated throughout and features Inky, Bee and Snake.
