Die Leerderboek by die Aanleerderswoordeboek is 'n pretboek wat spesiaal opgestel is om saam met die Aanleerderswoordeboek gebruik te word. Die een helfte van die title bestaan uit Afrikaanse en die ander helfte uit Engelse oefeninge en blokraaisels. Die inhoud van die title is veral daarop gemik om gebruikers te leer hoe om 'n woordeboek met vertroue te gebruik. Boonop brei die oefeninge gebruikers se woordeskat uit en verryk dit hulle taalkennis van beide Afrikaans en Engels deurdat die oefeninge binne die raamwerk van die Nasionale Kurrikulum vir Grade 5, 6, 7 en 8 se leeruitkomste vir taal (huistaal en eerste addisionele taal) opgestel is. Aan die einde van elke oefening word daar aangedui op watter leeruitkoms(te) die bepaalde oefening fokus.

Sinonieme en verwante woorde is 'n handige gids wat die gebruiker lei om vir elke situasie die regte woord te vind. By die keuse van woorde wat in die plek van die soekwoord gebruik kan word, word nie net sinonieme gegee nie maar ook woorde wat andersins aan mekaar verwant is. Onder voertuig word byvoorbeeld verskillende soorte voertuie gelys. Dit laat die werk in 'n groter mate beantwoord aan die talle behoeftes van gebruikers wat hulp soek by die keuse van die regte woord of term. Die titel maak die woord los wat op die tong le. Dit help onderwysers, leerders en studente, skrywers, joernaliste, politici, blokraai-invullers en elke taalgebruiker om die regte woord op die regte plek in te span.
