Why do students need a dictionary
and a thesaurus?
With a greater focus on the accuracy of spelling, punctuation and grammar, a dictionary
and a thesaurus are invaluable tools for all students.
Spelling notes clear
up issues which can
cost valuable marks
in examinations
Example sentences,
showing words in context,
help understanding,
