ACE Spelling Dictionary

The "ACE Spelling Dictionary" is now even better that it was! With this fully revised new edition, we have made a number of important changes. This includes increasing the page size of the dictionary to allow for an even more accessible design, updating the dictionary entries to include over 3,000 new words and revising the users notes. It is clear that pupils with spelling difficulties often experience problems with the whole curriculum and lose confidence with writing. The "ACE Spelling Dictionary" breaks through these problems. Using the unique index, pupils need only think how a word sounds to find out how to spell it. By simply identifying the first vowel sound, the speller is sent instantly to the page where the problem word is found. The easy-to-use reference system will tempt them to use more interesting words in their writing, enabling them to produce work that they can be proud of. Both patterns and irregularities are highlighted in the dictionary so that pupils learn to spell incidentally. The dictionary includes a clear step-by-step guide to effective teaching with the dictionary, over 20,000 words, a comprehensive list of commonly misspelt words and further learning strategies for spelling.

My youngest daughter is severely dyslexic, and very bright (level 5s in all SATS - including English - try arguing for additional support at the Secondary school after that fluke!!). She copes very well, and we all laughed with her about the concept of a dictionary for dyslexics when she mentioned it at dinner - BUT IT WORKS, IT IS BRILLIANT! Suddenly I am not spelling word after word during homework, and it has given her so much confidence not only to look for words, but also just to be curious about words. - Karen L Morgan
