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.

Tucson Kino Rotary Club, Arizona

The Tucson Kino Rotary Club has been participating in The Dictionary Project since 2006. Since that time, they have presented over 23,000 dictionaries to third grade students in Pima County, Arizona. Because of the pandemic, the club was not able to present dictionaries in person this year. However, they created a video so students would not miss out on their annual presentation. You can view the club’s outstanding video presentation with the following link: https://youtu.be/sXD60FxTjn0
