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.

Katy Elks serve community’s youth

Katy Elks Lodge # 2628 completed its first dictionary project, giving dictionaries to the third, fourth, and fifth graders at Faith West Academy in Katy, TX, and at Clay Road Baptist School in Houston.
Project organizer Cindy Gall wrote, "It was great to see how excited the kids were to receive the dictionaries. They were writing their names in them before we walked out the door."
