Overview
Give your child the two reference books every primary writer needs. This Oxford Primary Dictionary and Oxford Primary Thesaurus hardback set pairs clear, curriculum-aligned definitions with a rich bank of synonyms and writing tips, helping children aged 8 and up read and write with confidence. Fully updated with modern vocabulary, both books are trusted classroom staples, now available together for home learning, homework support, and everyday family reference.

About the Books
The Oxford Primary Dictionary is a comprehensive, fully updated reference containing clear, child-friendly definitions with full word classes, inflections and example sentences drawn from books children love. New senses of familiar words sit alongside handy spelling alerts and a supplement covering grammar, punctuation and proofreading skills, making it an essential companion for Key Stage 2 study. The Oxford Primary Thesaurus builds on this foundation, helping young writers move beyond repetitive vocabulary with carefully chosen synonyms, antonyms and usage examples for hundreds of common words. Word webs group related vocabulary visually, while writing tips and notes on overused words encourage children to select more precise, expressive language. Both titles are compiled using the Oxford Children's Corpus, a database of real children's writing, ensuring the vocabulary genuinely reflects how children read and write today. Presented in durable hardback bindings, the books are designed to withstand daily use at home, in the classroom or in a school library. Together they form a complete language toolkit: one book to check meaning and spelling, the other to enrich vocabulary, giving children everything they need to tackle homework, creative writing and reading with greater confidence.
