A dictionary teaches a child how to approach a problem and use critical thinking skills by sounding out the word and finding it in the dictionary. This simple task gives them a feeling of self-confidence and satisfaction that they cannot get online.

Dictionaries are a treasure

The Dictionary Project was featured in A Noble Purpose, a blog written by Pepi Noble.

Through her professional work and her association with Rotary International, Pepi comes in contact with hundreds of volunteers and organizations working to change the world. In her blog she intends to highlight "those with what I consider to be the highest standards, ethics and A Noble Purpose." She writes, "These stories are designed to increase awareness, boost volunteering, validate sustainable endeavors and inspire you to make a difference."
