ELEM: dict. skills

[Patricia Melville <3tunas@vgernet.net>]

Greetings!  I'm trying to decide which dictionary to choose to buy a
bunch of for teaching skills to 3rd and 4th grades.  I would like it to
still be useful for 5th and maybe even 2nd.  Am I asking too much?  What
dictionary do you recommend?  AND  By what grades do YOU divvy up
skills.  When do you start teaching dictionary, by what level are kids
really ready for some of the entry details.  ETC. Many TIA's from a worn
out first week at a new job in two schools.  Whew!
