아이가 영어사전을 찾아본다니 참으로 기특하네요..
저희 아이는 단어찾는 스타일이 아니라..
집에 있는 요 사전이 그냥 장식이 된지 한참인데..
얼마전엔 제가 좀 보려고 꺼냈더니, 그림책 구경하듯이 휘리릭 그림을 보면서..
쿨하다고 하더군요...
그렇게 그림책처럼 봐주면 좋겠는.. 그런 사전입니다.
그림 붙여볼게요. 속지에 그림이 종종 나와서 맘에 드는데.
아주 어려운 어휘는 없는 거 같아요. 미초 3학년 과정 정도까지는 커버되는 것 같습니다.

As a 5th grade teacher I was forced to buy the Scholastic Children's Dictionary last year because I didn't have much money to spend and it was affordable. After having spent a frustrating year trying to get some use out of this dictionary, I'm now purchasing another dictionary. Why? First, I was lucky enough to have more money available. As many teachers can attest, this is a rare occurrence. Second, the Scholastic Children's Dictionary just doesn't have enough words in it to be useful to my students. Time and time again, words that my students needed to look up just weren't in this dictionary. It's attractive enough; it has plenty of pictures; it includes a few word histories (I'd like more); and it has most of the other things you'd expect in a dictionary. The problem is that it doesn't include enough words for children at my grade level. I think it would be an adequate dictionary for 3rd grade students, but I wouldn't suggest it above that grade level.
Not wanting to make another mistake, I spent a considerable amount of time researching which dictionary to buy. I looked at over 20 dictionaries, including Merriam-Webster Children's Dictionary, MacMillan Dictionary for Students, American Heritage Student Dictionary, and several others. I finally settled on Thorndyke & Barnhart's Junior Dictionary. I also liked their intermediate dictionary, but it cost considerably more and it didn't include much additional information.
What I liked best about the Thorndyke & Barnhart's Junior Dictionary was that it includes many more words than the Scholastic Children's Dictionary (almost double). I typed up a list of over 200 words I couldn't find in the Scholastic Children's Dictionary and used this list when comparing the other dictionaries. Not only did the Thorndyke & Barnhart's Junior Dictionary have more of the words than any of the other dictionaries I looked at, its definitions were more appropriate, I thought, for 5th grade students than the others. The other dictionaries either dumbed-down the definitions to the point of loosing meaning or left some definitions so complex that students of this age group couldn't understand them. The Thorndyke & Barnhart's Junior Dictionary had the best balance. The choice was a surprisingly simple after I started really looking at the dictionaries and comparing them.
요건 아마존 최상위에 있는 고객평가에요..
저도 다 읽어보진 않았지만.. 대체로 5학년수준에선 안나오는 단어가 많다.. 이런 내용 같아요.
제가 보기에도 미국과정 3학년 수준까지 아주 딱좋은 사전 같아요.
누르시면 속지 보실 수 있어요. 표지는 2010년형이라 저희집 것과는 다르네요.
아마존 가니.. 요게 이디엄과 다른 것 세트로 있는데.. 맘 같아선 다 구비해주고 싶지만..
저희 아이는 잘 보질 않아서... ㅜㅜ
========
저는 둘다 구비하면 좋겠고.. 어린 아이, 저학년의 경우는 종이사전보면서..
그림도 보고 이것저것 볼수 있으면 더 좋겠다에 한표입니다.
