To develop vocabulary
A thesaurus helps students to nd alternatives or more
interesting words, which improves students writing skills.
To avoid overused words
A thesaurus helps students to delve deeper into the vibrant
world of the English language.
To find the right word
A thesaurus helps students to look up and identify specic people,
places or things.
Why an Oxford Thesaurus?
As well as developing vocabulary, our thesauruses
encourage students to think about writing processes
and be more creative, through writing tips integrated
throughout, and a unique 64-page Writers Toolkit.

Why an Oxford Dictionary?
Our dictionaries are built from a unique database of
childrens language, drawing together a wealth of
childrens literature and real-life examples, ensuring the
most up-to-date, relevant, and accessible content.
This dictionary offers guidance to improve students understanding of spelling,
punctuation, and grammar. Supported by our unique database of childrens language,
this dictionary is split into two parts: an alphabetical list of tricky, everyday spellings,
and a section on tips, advice,
and rules for these key skills.
