The Scholastic Student Thesaurus has been revised and updated for the first time since 2002. The new edition features 4 new pages of backmatter, and all entries have been reviewed by a lexicographer.Revised and updated, the Scholastic Student Thesaurus is an innovative, easy-to-use title for students in grades 6-12 (savvy 5th graders, too!). It was created for the many kids who get frustrated when they try to use a thesaurus. If they look up a word and "it's not there," many students will give up rather than turn to the index in the back of their book to redirect their search. The Scholastic Student Thesaurus's innovative same-page index solves this problem. In addition, the new edition features 4 brand-new pages of backmatter about language and how words evolve.

I have tried many different types of thesaurus (?) in my classroom. This one is easy for the students to read, and I like the related words section. My students use it on a regular basis. It's perfect for upper elementary.
Great for getting kids started in looking up words, finding words and alphabetizing. Missing a few words we deem essential, but it should be essential to be able to look words up by book not just google.
As a homeschool Mom, I needed to purchase a thesaurus for my 10 year old. This is one purchase that I don't regret buying! The quality is excellent and my 10 year old is able to use it on her own with no troubles! I will be buying her the updated ones each year because I'm so impressed!
For writers workshop having access to a good thesaurus can be rewarding and entertaining for kids. I like using them with kids to focus on all the parts we observe in funny pictures or with little pieces of nature brought into the classroom or from a high quality photograph from a good non fiction book.
I have 6 more children this year that would have been without these. We use them for our 5 day writing program. Wednesday is revising day and the children use red pens to revise overused boring words with the help of thesauruses. The children learn to replace boring words with more sophisticated vocabulary.
I purchase these books for an elementary school donation every year. Always happy with them, and so are the students.
I bought this for my 1st-3rd grade classroom. It is easy to use and understand.Grade 3-6-Featuring a significantly expanded pool of entries over its 1998 edition, Scholastic Children's Thesaurus, this volume takes a unique approach with its "on-the-page index" offering cross-references for more difficult words. Each entry features the term, part of speech, definition, and synonyms (in bold type). Though the previous edition offered more extensive information about the usage of each synonym, this edition widens students' knowledge of word connections, made clear through the visibility of each handy spread-specific index. The easy-to-use, expanded introduction will be a valuable resource to students who take the time to read it. The colorful illustrations of the previous edition have given way to more solid information; overall, this edition has less flash and more substance than its predecessor.Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Maryland School for the Deaf, ColumbiaCopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
This is a great product for teaching about resource books with little ones, and teaching students how to use a variety of words in their writing. :)
