Description
The Oxford English Thesaurus for Schools is an ideal language resource for school work and studying at home. Its accessible layout makes it easy to use, covering a wide range of vocabulary including curriculum words and new terms on topics such as technology, health, and the environment.
With context provided through age-appropriate example sentences from popular children's books and teenage fiction, students can learn how to use language effectively in their writing. The thesaurus is powered by the Oxford Children's Corpus, a unique electronic database of millions of words written by and for children.
This comprehensive resource includes a toolkit on writing skills, as well as a new section on creative writing to support students with their own writing. It is also suitable for use in preparation for the Spoken Language Study and English Language objectives of the GCSE specifications for Grades 6-9.
