A thesaurus is an excellent tool for literacy development. Now there’s a thesaurus created especially for Canadian students—the Collins Gage Canadian Intermediate Thesaurus. Featuring Canadian spellings and meanings, the thesaurus has been vetted by Canadian educators and has been compiled in accordance with curriculum documents across the country.

Most thesauruses provide alternative words with no guidance about how to select the best one. This new reference is significantly different: each entry word has a definition and example sentence so a young reader will clearly understand what it means. It’s easy to find a particular word because the thesaurus is organized alphabetically instead of by category and there are at-a-glance cross-references. Over 25 Word Studies help young writers make their writing less clichéd and more lively and descriptive.

The Collins Gage Intermediate Thesaurus is an outstanding new reference for the family bookshelf, and a fitting companion to the Collins Gage Canadian Intermediate Dictionary.
