The Wordsmyth Children’s Dictionary is unique among dictionaries for children in that it includes a relatively large number of senses for each word.  Our Children’s Dictionary includes words that are essential for children’s vocabulary development—fourteen thousand of them! However, words that are used primarily to cause offense or are generally considered very offensive in our society are not included in this dictionary intended for children.  The thesaurus words are matched with individual senses of a word rather than just presenting a “pot of words” as synonyms, under the headword.  Clicking on “art” leads the the child to find words that describe types of art, people who make art, things used in art, places where art can be found, and many other categories of information relating to the topic.  Very common words, especially, can have a vast number of senses, some of them only subtly different from each other in meaning and some very rare or sophisticated.  In addition, thousands of easy-to-understand example sentences, photos, and illustrations enhance understanding of the meanings of words and make learning fun.  It is an index of related words that allows a child to find words relating to multiple topics and to explore whole networks of words and their meanings.  Vulgar words tend to be learned through natural exposure, and we feel it is within the province of caregivers and educators to decide when and how to help children shape their view of these words.  For our part, we are more concerned with giving children the necessary words and concepts to succeed in school and to become good readers and communicators.  Wordsmyth Children’s Dictionary provides special support for English Language Learners whose native language is Spanish or Chinese.  Clear example sentences put these word senses in a context that makes them easy for children to understand.  In cases where a headword cannot be translated with equivalent words, a liberal translation is provided in addition to a literal one.  The Wordmyth’s thesaurus includes synonyms, antonyms, and words that are similar in meaning to the headword.  The Wordsmyth Children’s Dictionary-Thesaurus is a thoughtfully-written dictionary designed for upper elementary and middle school students (grades 3 to 8).  Dictionaries refer to these different meanings as “senses” of words.  Unique to our Children’s Dictionary is the Word Explorer: a word-finding and knowledge-exploration feature.  Definitions for the Children’s Dictionary-Thesaurus are written specifically for children, in a clear and uncomplicated style – for native speakers as well as ELLs.  At the same time, only the most common and important senses are chosen so that the child will not be overwhelmed by information and can make sense of the meanings that are presented.  Advanced dictionaries quite often list ten or twenty different senses for a single word.  One unique feature of Wordsmyth Dictionaries is the integration of a thesuaurs into the dictionary presentation.  All 14,000 headwords in each of their senses have been translated into Spanish and Chinese.  In addition, every example sentence accompanying a definition has been translated.  A word can have many different meanings.  So, for example, under the Topic “Communication” the keyword “art” is listed.  In Wordsmyth, they appear along with their corresponding definitions.  Definitions use a controlled vocabulary and simple sentence structure.  The app can be used with or without an internet connection.
