[LM_NET] Hit: Middle School Dictionaries

[Chris Evans <cevans@CUSD220.LAKE.K12.IL.US>]

Hi all,

My original target was asking for preferred dictionaries for middle school 
classrooms.  I received two responses.  Thanks to Janie and Barb for sharing the 
following information:

Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition. Purchased them from Baker 
and Taylor for $13.75 apiece instead of the much higher price in the 
catalogs.
 
Our state University Interscholastic League uses the Merriam-Webster Intermediate 
Dictionary for the UIL Dictionary Skills event, so that's what we use for 6th 
grade.  

The Merriam-Webster School Dictionary--for 7th and 8th grades, and that is one that 
is highly recommended for our state test in writing.

Readingly yours,
Chris
