For use at school or home, The Oxford School Spelling Dictionary is easy-to-use and comprehensive. With over 25,000 essential words listed in colour, it is easy to find words quickly and panels give extra information to illustrate spelling rules e.g. details on prefixes and suffixes as well as their exceptions. Footnotes throughout help build spelling knowledge and lead the user from an incorrect look-up to the correct spelling right away. The dictionary has been carefully prepared for KS2 and the DFEE National Literacy Strategy Spelling Bank.
