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.

Barboursville Ruritans donate dictionaries

 The Barboursville Ruritans purchased dictionaries for every third grader at Gordon-Barbour Elementary School. Ruritan members Neal and Annette Robertson and Richard Morris presented the dictionaries to students on September 9. These dictionaries not only have definitions, but also interesting facts regarding American history.
