Collins Junior Illustrated Dictionary has been especially written to support the needs of children aged 6 to 8. It introduces key dictionary features such as parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective or adverb) and other forms of a word, for example plurals or past tense of a verb.

The clear and spacious layout, guide words at the top of each page plus the A-Z 'tab' index on each page ensure that the dictionary is child-friendly. Bright, colourful illustrations and photographs support language learning and make it fun.

Full sentence definitions and example sentences show the headword used in a context familiar to children.

The Collins Word Wizard supplement gives extra help with vocabulary through illustrated word topic pages, and support for writing including grammar, punctuation and spelling tips.
