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.

A Rotarian shares her experience at Wolfsville Elementary School

 I thought you`d like to see the picture I took of a `very happy group of 3rd graders` at Wolfsville Elementary School. The teacher greeted me with overwhelming enthusiasm, telling me how the students had been eagerly awaiting the delivery of the dictionaries – they had heard about them from last year`s class. She was right – the whole class was brimming with excitement as they helped hand them out and listened to my telling them about the contents of the dictionaries, as well as a bit about Rotary. They then gladly assembled for a group photo!
