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, terms are found quickly and easily. Throughout the text, panels give extra information to illustrate spelling rules, for example 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. The dictionary is carefully prepared for KS2 and the DFEE National Literacy Strategy Spelling Bank.
