The Dictionary Project Brings the Gift of Words to Berlin Elementary School
In Berlin, New Hampshire, every third-grade student at Berlin Elementary School received a personal dictionary, thanks to a generous donation from The Dictionary Project. This literacy initiative aims to equip young learners with a foundational resource that supports vocabulary growth, reading comprehension, and lifelong learning.
Faculty and students expressed excitement and gratitude for the donation. Teachers highlighted how personal dictionaries encourage students to explore language independently, improve spelling, and build curiosity. The dictionaries are more than word lists — they include facts about the United States, maps, the U.S. Constitution, and even sign language guides.
The Dictionary Project has donated millions of dictionaries across the U.S. since its inception, and Berlin Elementary now joins the many schools benefiting from this literacy effort. With each dictionary handed out, students receive a lasting educational tool that supports their growth in and out of the classroom.
