The must-have Back to School thesaurus for Year 7.

School Thesaurus by Collins Dictionaries is the essential word finder for all students of English. Developed with teachers to support the requirements of the school National Curriculum, this English student thesaurus has a clear and easy-to-use layout, with an alphabetical indicator on each page, making it easy to find information quickly.

This Collins pocket thesaurus includes thousands of synonyms and antonyms as well as short definitions for all main entry words. Examples are given for all synonyms to show how they are used and help students choose the right one for their context. The ‘more synonyms’ feature and ‘types of’ panels help to extend students’ vocabulary, and extra help is given to avoid the overuse of very common words.

A special section focuses on writing skills and helps students use language effectively to achieve success in all areas of written work. For more on English language usage, the Collins School Dictionary and Thesaurus (9780008257958) is an excellent companion.
