“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.”

Joann Frasier Dasent, founder of Regenerating Our Offspring Through Stories, Inc. (ROOTS), recently visited Anna B. Day School in Philadelphia, PA. While at the school, she visited two third grade classrooms, where she presented students with copies of ‘The Best Dictionary for Students’ and told them about the history behind the Dictionary Project.

ROOTS first participated in the Dictionary Project in 2005. Since then, they have donated over 260 books to children in their area.
