Thanks

Hi don’t go for a child one as it is limited in range from our experience but keen to see what other posts recommendations.
Re: English Electronic Dictionary
We have had two different types:
A Seiko ER6700 Concise Oxford Dictionary/ Thesaurus/ Encyclopedia. On the plus side it has a comprehensive range of vocab, easy to use and my son used his up until he finished his GCSEs. However it is quite expensive £40 plus I think and for a 10/11 year old the definitions aren't always easy to understand.
We also had a Franklin Collins English Dictionary. The definitions in this edition are much more child friendly and it is about half the price of the Seiko. However it doesn't have such an expansive bank of vocabulary as the Seiko.
