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.

Solvang Rotary donates dictionaries to Bulldogs

In its continuing efforts to support literacy in the Santa Ynez Valley, Solvang Rotary Club recently donated dictionaries to Jonata Middle School’s sixth-grade class. Each student received a personal dictionary to keep at home. The dictionary distribution is part of the nationally recognized Dictionary Project, where organizations can sponsor students at schools and nonprofit agencies as recipients of a wide variety of educational books. The dictionary distribution is another project of the 2011 Vocational Services avenue for Solvang Rotary Club.
