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.

Rotary Club of Memphis East visits Georgia Avenue Elementary with dictionaries and fun

 This is a picture of the Rotarians and the prize winners when we gave the dictionaries to the kids at Georgia Avenue Elementary School in Memphis. We took words from their current word list they are studying and had them look up the word we gave them. The first to find the word won a prize. This year the prizes were a calculator, a small bag of pencils and a happy. It was a fun time, and the kids enjoyed it as well as the Rotarians.
