Bound in durable vegan leather and housed in a protective slipcase, it makes a memorable present for Year 6 leavers, birthdays, or the start of a new school year, while delivering the same trusted, curriculum-aligned content students rely on for homework, exams, and everyday reading at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDeveloped with teachers, this dictionary is designed to be the ideal companion for classwork, homework, and independent study throughout secondary school. It contains over 20,000 clear, concise definitions, with additional support for tricky pronunciations that often trip students up. Core vocabulary for key curriculum exam subjects is included, so students have quick access to the specialist terms they meet across English, science, humanities, and more. Thousands of example sentences show exactly how words are used in real context, helping build confident, accurate language use rather than rote memorisation. A dedicated section covering punctuation, spelling, and grammar gives students a reliable in-book guide whenever writing tasks call for a quick check. At 736 pages, it offers substantial coverage without becoming unwieldy, and the sturdy hardback vegan leather binding is built to withstand daily use in a school bag over several years. The included slipcase keeps the dictionary protected on the shelf and adds to its appeal as a gift-quality item rather than a purely functional textbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 20,000 clear, concise definitions for reliable everyday reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore vocabulary tailored to key curriculum exam subjects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThousands of example sentences showing words used in context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in guide to punctuation, spelling, and grammar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable vegan leather hardback binding with a protective slipcase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for Year 6 leavers and secondary school starters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCollins Dictionaries has been publishing trusted language reference titles for almost 200 years, earning a firm place in homes, schools, and libraries.
