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.

 Dear Dictionary Project,
I would like to thank you for my Dictonary. Like we can do Michigan history and look up words at the same time. It is just so cool that you gave us the books. I herd you are going to give the same thing to all the thrid graders in Michigan. Thank you for the books.
I am going to use it for vocab. When my mom needs help on a word I can show her. My brother always needs help on words so I can help him to. I can use it for everthing. Thank you guys.
Sincerely
Eden
