The new edition of the SCHOLASTIC RHYMING DICTIONARY has been completely redesigned to become a kid-friendly resource for finding that perfect rhyme, whether for poetry, prose, song writing, etc. Organized by vowel sounds and final syllables, this illustrated rhyming dictionary uses its own easy-to-use, accurate pronunciation system. The student writer looks up the ending sound of a word, which is listed alphabetically, and finds a list of matching rhymes ranging from the everyday to the extraordinary to modern slang. The list includes appropriate words with the same ending sound, regardless of the spelling. An introduction includes the basics of listening for rhyme, with emphasis on sounds, stressed syllables, and different spellings of same sounds.

For songwriters and poets, copywriters and students, this is the perfect reference for all would-be versifiers in search of an elusive rhyme.

This invaluable resource contains rhymes for over 45,000 words presented in a clear and user-friendly layout. Features include a complete index, in-text notes, examples, creative writing tips, and a fascinating introduction giving a brief outline of the history of rhyming. A must-have for all writers.

Is your ballad a touch pallid? Is your verse even worse? Put a kick in your limmerick and make your meter a bit neater . . . with this classic rhyming guide. Arranged by number of syllables in a simple alphabetical format, this text brings thousands of rhyming words to the writer's fingertips, broadening the possibilities for expression and helping to create desired rhythms.

Excerpt from Vocabulary of English Rhymes: Arranged on a New Plan In this edition the few typographical errors which have been discovered have been corrected, but no attempt has been made to add the small number of words available for rhyming which have come into our language since the book was first published. It has been thought best on the whole to have more ample margins than before and a different binding. The unique binding and small page of the former edition were desired by Mr. Case in order to make as compact a volume as possible for pocket use. The test of experience during these years on the part of those best qualified to judge has seemed to prove true the claim made in the former preface, that this Rhyming Vocabulary is far better for its purpose than any other known work.
