Summary: Great for ELLs
Comment: This dictionary is primarily intended for people who are beginning to learn the English language - a.k.a. ELLs (English Language Learners). Few things are more frustrating than to look up a word only to find that you've never seen half of the words in the definition. I have tried to use various "basic," "children's" and "school" dictionaries with my students, but even these have many, many incomprehensible definitions. This is by far the best I've seen. The other reviewer is right - a lot of words are missing, but this dictionary still has more entries than most of this type, and, Hallelujah, my kids can understand the definitions. It serves to bridge the gap between picture dictionaries and typical school dictionares. If she feels that this dictionary is not extensive enough for her daughter's middle school homework, she may want to try the intermediate version of this series or a "school" dictionary.

Summary: Too Many Words Missing
Comment: The definitions in this dictionary are easy enough for my 11 year old to understand, however I am VERY frustrated by the words that are missing from this dictionary. I'm trying to find a dictionary with middle school level vocabulary words with definitions that are understandable for her. I bought this, but I'm still looking.
