Definition: A book, film, etc. intended to instruct.

Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! You’ve got a great question there, about the word “instructional.” It’s lovely to see you engaging with your vocabulary! The dictionary is spot on – it does say "a book, film, etc. intended to instruct." But let's dig a little deeper, shall we? “Instructional” really means designed to teach or give guidance. Think of it like this: something instructional shows you how to do something, or explains something clearly. It’s about imparting knowledge, giving directions, or helping someone learn. Let's use a rhyme to help us remember: “Instructional, clear and bright, To guide your learning with all its light!” Here are some examples to make it clearer: An instructional manual for building furniture – it tells you how to put it together. A documentary that’s instructional about the rainforest - it explains what lives there and why it's important. A lesson plan in school - it’s instructional because it guides the teacher on what to teach! Do you have any questions about "instructional," or would you like me to give you a few more examples? Don’t hesitate to ask!
