Dictionary.com




• Name of the app: Dictionary.com
• URL (web address) –https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dictionary.com-hd-ad-free/id450123799?mt=8
• Cost: free
• About this out: This app is run by the same program as dictionary.com. It allows students to type in a word and get the definition as well as synonyms and antonymous   
• Likes: This reliable app gives academic definitions, common misspellings, and synonym choices for students. 
• Dislikes: Some of the definitions the app come with are of a higher reading level than some of my students. The font is also very small
• Recommendation: I would recommend this app as a resource in the classroom. It is good to get children accustomed to looking things up in the dictionary. It is also beneficial for students to have other word options for commonly used words as they develop in their education.
