During education, you will come across some unusual and uncommon words, Wordnik is an online dictionary and thesaurus which is available for all to use when needed. Once playing around with this site, I have found it very helpful and quite fun! Nobody wants to be looking through a dictionary book to find a specific word, so being able to type your word in to the search bar to find its spelling and meaning, is not only easier but a lot quicker, nobody wants to waste time when writing an essay! Wordnik would be great if brought into schools and classrooms, children would find it easier, as I did, to find words and it may even interest them more than flicking through pages of a hardcopy dictionary. As children will also be reading the word's meanings as well as the spelling, children will understand the word more and Wordnik even shows children how to incorporate these specific words into sentences. This site can also show children examples of their specific words and as Wordnik also shows these words being used in books, this may help the child become more familiar with different types of books and may lead them to want to read these books themselves!
After using Wordnik I love it! I would definitely recommend this site to friends, family and other students.
