Collins Cobuild Primary Learner's Dictionary

This accessible and easy-to- use dictionary is the perfect tool to help children improve their language

skills and build vocabulary. It covers all the essential words, phrases and idioms that students need

to learn, and is ideal for children who speak a language other than English at home.

The definitions are written using simple language, which enables the child to discover for

themselves what words mean, both in the classroom and at home. The dictionary also contains

example sentences of real English, which show the child how English is really used in everyday life.

The dictionary includes a wide range of cross-curricular vocabulary items, which will help students

studying in English to build their academic vocabulary, as well as gain confidence in writing and

speaking English inside and outside the classroom.

Key curriculum terms and important everyday vocabulary items are illustrated throughout the

dictionary to support the child's understanding of key concepts and to encourage exploration of the

language.

The brightly coloured supplement illustrates a range of academic and general topics, making the

Collins Primary Learner's English Dictionary invaluable to a child who is not only learning English,

but also studying through the medium of English.
