About this product

Product Information

This title helps to find words up to 64 times faster than with a standard 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 updating and extending the vocabulary, giving more alternative spellings, more plural forms and more 'sound-alike' words with meanings. The middle section is a darker blue to make it easier to find the right page. 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 2-page index spread, 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. This title contains 328 pages (168 x 246mm).

  • Perfect to help dyslexics gain confidence with spelling

    This was recommended to me, and I am delighted with it. Once you get the hang of the grid system to look up words, it is an ideal way to help dyslexics with their spelling. My daughter now teaches people in her school how to use it.

  • Ace help for Dyslexics..!

    Recommended by a specialist for my daughter who has dyslexia - & both my daughter & her classroom teacher found it very useful. This helps people to look up words by how they sound - & then the spelling can be checked. Recommended item! Cheers Steve O

  • ACE Dictionary

    This is a brilliant resource especially for Dyslexic youngsters aged 10-15. It's always the vowel sound part of a word that causes the difficulty with spelling and this dictionary groups words according to vowel sound. It doesn't matter if you are unsure of the first letter (knife for instance can be found under k or n), it deals with homonyms, plurals, irregular past tense - everything weak spellers find tricky. When taught systematically and thoroughly this resource takes away all the fear and frustration of spelling. It makes youngsters independent, words can be found within 20 seconds - it does what it says - turns them into ACE spellers. If I could only have one resource for teaching spelling - this would be it. The teacher's book of activities is also excellent.
