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 Mrs. French, Thank you for the dictionary. I am not going to get my dictionary wet. I am going to share my dictionary with my family. I like my dictionary a lot. I am going to use it for spelling words. My mom and me can look up spelling words and wee what they mean. Love your friend, Erica
