with any coursebook or alone. With pictures and
pronunciation in British and American English, the dictionary
makes learning new vocabulary memorable and fun. Children

rich but simple tool is ideal for home use, and parents with no
knowledge of English will be able to follow their children's
progress. Teachers can use Primary i-Dictionary in the

whiteboard, then follow up with traditional pen and paper
classwork through using the hundreds of printable worksheets,
exercises and flashcards that are provided for every topic.
