Oxford School Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Dictionary

An invaluable guide to getting your spelling, punctuation, and grammar right! The Oxford School Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar Dictionary is the essential reference book for secondary school. In full colour, it has easy-to-use rules and help, plus an alphabetical list of the tricky, and everyday, words including those most commonly misspelt, all backed by analysis of Oxford’s unique database of children’s writing. Features: • A dictionary that supports students by guiding them to the correct spelling of the word they want to use, unlike online adult spellcheckers; market research has shown us that online spellcheckers are not used correctly, leading to errors around common words such as does and dose • A unique title in the children’s dictionary market with clearly presented rules on spelling, punctuation, and grammar to help children in secondary school to prepare for the new mark schemes based on spelling, punctuation, and grammar for GCSE exams across all subjects • Accessible, easy-to-use format • Compiled by Peter Buckroyd, who was previously Senior Examiner at AQA; consultant Geoff Barton, author and consultant; lexicographers, grammarians, and educational consultants • Trialled and tested in schools • Accessible! age-appropriate! authoritative! from the market’s leading children’s dictionary publisher!
