Welcome to Merriam-Webster Kids!

Fall 2021 marks the debut of our new imprint that serves our mission to help kids better understand and communicate with the world around them through highly engaging content designed to foster a love of language and learning from an early age. Our list is small yet focused; over time, you will see it build across all categories and ages that serve children ages 0-12 and the families, teachers, and librarians that support them.

Our brand is trusted as America’s leading provider of language information; each month, our websites offer guidance to more than 40 million visitors. With more than 1 million Word of the Day emails reaching consumers daily and 1.5 million social media followers, we have a direct dialogue with kindred lovers of words—a strong book-buying demographic—and will be reaching them regularly with news about our children’s books. Reaching our customers through the website is just one way that we’ll get the word out. We will be further supported by our sister company, Encyclopædia Britannica®, and through marketing efforts that include national media, library and trade media, influencers, and more.

From the largest team of dictionary editors and writers in America, and one of the largest in the world, thank you for supporting us and Merriam-Webster Kids.

Merriam-Webster Kids

Introduction Children learn language from their parents and families. Research shows that young children learn words most easily when parents and caregivers use single words and short phrases to narrate and describe what the child and the caregivers are doing throughout the day. Incorporating these short descriptions into the child’s daily routines and play activities is a simple way for parents to encourage language learning.

In addition to providing pictures of common items in a child’s life, this book is intended to give models of the kinds of short comments that fit well into a child’s daily routines. Over 150 new words and phrases are included in the text.

Once children start to talk, repeating their words and adding a little bit to what they say encourages them to say more.

Parents can help with language understanding by asking simple questions about the 90+ photos shown along the page borders, such as “Where’s the duck ” or “Who’s running ” And then encourage the child to point to the appropriate picture.

Using simple language with lots of expression while communicating with your child creates a lifelong bond.

Merriam-Webster's 150 First Words

By Claire Laties Davis MS, CCC-SLP

Move over, “generic” 100 first word books! Merriam-Webster is storming the category with a 150 first word board book experience grounded in the principles of child development. The interactive experience encourages toddlers’ language learning through the repetition of simple words and phrases, using tried-and-true authoritative language techniques, written by a speechlanguage pathologist. While most first words books list nouns, our book naturally weaves 150 single words and short phrases around everyday illustrations that children will recognize from their own daily routines. Along the border of each spread, we’ve included photographs of every illustrated item to encourage an additional search-and-find opportunity for parents and their babies. Hosted by nine ethnically diverse babies, it’s a search-and-find experience that will delight parents and caregivers.

■ Each spread includes photographs of babies and everyday objects alongside illustrated scenes showing them in action—creating a search-and-find on every page to allow more time for parents and babies to connect.

■ Author Claire Laties Davis includes an introductory note that coaches parents and caregivers in her proven methods for getting babies talking.

■ Features nine babies of different ethnic backgrounds and settings from around the world.

■ Each spread features routines familiar to babies and their caregivers from morning to night, including waking up, getting dressed, playtime, bath time, and dinner time.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day: 366 Elevating Utterances to Stretch Your Cranium and Tickle Your Humerus For ages 8–12. Inspired by Merriam-Webster’s popular Word of the Day digital feature, this book builds knowledge one day at a time with 366 masterful words (includes one for leap year!).

Offering charming illustrations, all of them featuring animals, the masterminds at MerriamWebster have selected challenging, surprising, and fun-to-pronounce words and paired them with fascinating facts and trivia. Each entry contains the date, word, pronunciation, definition, and trivia. Each month ends with a Story of the Month that includes all of the words plus a free audio download accessed through a QR code. This is a great gift book—how can grownup Word of the Day fans resist?—for every 8+ year-old on your list.

■ The book can be purchased any time of the year; it’s not “dated” by year. Each month contains an introduction, one word per day individually or in thematic groups and an end-of-the-month story that includes all of the words.

■ Words feature clear and helpful illustrations for readers and are introduced with a pronunciation guide, definition, and interesting trivia about the word.

■ Delightfully challenging and surprising words will convert even the most vocabulary-resistant middle schoolers (and grown-ups, too) into passionate logophiles!

■ The 1.2 million Word of the Day subscribers will be a target audience for marketing.

■ The audio will be available as a download through the QR codes printed in the book, and also as a separate audio collection.
