The book is intended to support students’ independent reference skills in school and at home.
The dictionary is described as supporting improvement in spelling, punctuation and grammar, while building vocabulary.
The book is presented as support for school and home use, including GCSEs and controlled assessments.
Use it alongside real writing: ask the reader to look up a word, compare the explanation with the sentence, and decide which information helps them revise their spelling, punctuation or grammar.
