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.

Poulsbo Evening Pride Lions Club

Members of the Poulsbo Evening Pride Lions Club have participated in The Dictionary Project since 2011, donating over 2,900 dictionaries to third grade students in Kitsap County, Washington. This year the Lions received many warm-hearted thank-you letters from grateful students.
The students and teachers were elated receiving their personal dictionary. We had eight schools participate with several split classes of third and fourth grade. Some of the fourth graders remembered and shared what they learned last year. It was so enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you so much for helping us with this program. We look forward to it every year.
