Challenge Elementary School Japanese Dictionary, 6th Edition

This is the latest edition of the Challenge Elementary School Japanese Dictionary, the No. 1 selling dictionary year after year. This is the standard size (A5), slightly larger than the compact version. This revised edition is compatible with the new textbooks that will be used from April 2015. 1,400 new words have been added, bringing the total to an impressive 35,100. It's even more powerful than ever. It also includes the 1,006 educational kanji characters that students learn over six years of elementary school. All kanji are accompanied by furigana (readings) so that they can be used from the early grades onwards. All manuscripts are checked by elementary school teachers to ensure easy understanding for children. Utilizing the know-how gained over the 30 years since the first edition was published, Benesse has edited this dictionary from a child's perspective. Includes color kanji posters by grade and a Hyakunin Isshu poster.
