[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have high school and college kids. Not being snarky - [b]Do you know why he wants one?[/b] I think his reasoning might affect the type you buy. I haven't seen anyone use a non-internet based dictionary in about ten years. years. [/quote] He has ADHD and is a terrible speller, so he regularly consults a dictionary when writing. He finds it difficult to read online books (we order hardcopy editions of textbooks for use at home; hardcopies are available at school as outlined in his 504 Plan) and therefore rarely uses an online dictionary. He is in his 3rd year of Latin (helps with word stems and therefore spelling) but he is not confident enough (yet?) to go without a dictionary. Since the one we have in the house is somewhat dated, he has requested a new hardcover dictionary.[/quote] really? All of our 504s and IEPs stress online resources and use of computers for writing.[/quote]
