LITERACY & DYSLEXIA ACE Spelling Dictionary David Moseley Pupils with spelling difficulties often experience problems accessing the curriculum and BEST SELLER lose confidence with writing. The ACE Spelling Dictionary breaks through these problems, taking away the frustration of hunting through a conventional dictionary and actually improving users’ spellings through increasing their understanding of common spelling patterns and unusual features. The Dictionary is designed for writers of all ages who need to check spellings, and is intended for use in educational settings and at home. The fourth edition of the ACE Spelling Dictionary has expanded user’s notes and thousands of new words, including more alternative spellings, plural forms and ‘sound-alike’ pairs and groups than before. The darker blue long vowel section makes it easy to open the book near the wanted page. It has an up-to-date vocabulary and provides full ‘how to use’ guidance for new and experienced users. Using the unique ACE Spelling Index, users need only think about how a word sounds to find out how to spell it. By simply identifying the first vowel sound, the speller is directed to the page where the problem word is found. The easy-to-use reference system will tempt users to use more interesting words in their writing. Both spelling patterns and irregularities are highlighted in the dictionary so that pupils learn to spell incidentally. Contains 328 pages. 176 x 250mm.

The Advanced ACE Spelling Dictionary is designed for everyone who needs to check spellings quickly, no matter how skilled they are. As a companion volume to the ACE Spelling Dictionary, it retains all the assets of the standard Dictionary, along with some added extras. The Advanced ACE Spelling Dictionary is smaller and more transportable than the standard Dictionary, easy to carry from lesson to lesson, making for a more compact and subtle reference guide for older users. This pocket-sized dictionary links vowel sounds with colours. The vocabulary is extensive and up-to-date, and this second edition has over 600 new words added, many of them to extend word ‘families’. A colour distinction is made between high-frequency core vocabulary and lower-frequency, more specialised vocabulary up to degree level. Using the unique ACE Spelling Index, users need only think about how a word sounds to find out how to spell it. By simply identifying the first vowel sound, the speller is directed to the page where the problem word is found. As with the ACE Spelling Dictionary, both spelling patterns and irregularities are highlighted so that users learn to spell incidentally. The Dictionary is ideal for first- and second-language users as the unique ACE Index takes you directly from speech to spelling. Contains 578 pages. 114 x 162mm.
