Scholastic Dictionary of Spelling - Marvin Terban

With a brand new design, 1,000 additional words, and new fun sections like The Four Longest Words in the English Language and The Spelling Words That Made Kids Champions, this is the perfect spelling resource for students. The introduction gives instructions for looking up a word the reader does not necessarily know how to spell, offers more than 150 memory tricks to correct commonly misspelled words, and clearly explains general spelling rules (and their exceptions). Furthermore, to aid pronunciation, each word is divided into syllables with the accented syllable in boldface.
