The Australian Primary Dictionary clearly defines the words that children aged 10–12 are likely to encounter in their reading or want to use in their writing. Great care has been taken to include words from a range of subject areas, to provide help right across the curriculum.
- Over 25,000 headwords
- Highlighted usage boxes help clarify points of confusion about some words
- An alphabet strip on the edge of each page is tinted at the relevant letter, so it can be used as a thumb index
- Parts of speech, plurals and derivatives written out in full to help with grammar
- Word origins are provided for borrowings from Aboriginal languages
- A map at the back shows the location of the 22 Aboriginal languages referred to in this dictionary
- Other appendices include floral emblems, English terms, mathematical terms, computers and technology, Aboriginal words, human body, civics and citizenship, common prefixes, and common suffixes
- Pronunciation given for words which may cause problems, using a simple respelling system which avoids symbols.
