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.

This is the fifth year that Kiwanis has sponsored this project. Our membership supports this endeavor completely and enjoys hearing from the children after they receive their dictionaries. The children are well aware of the project after hearing about it from older siblings and really look forward to the day that we arrive with their own dictionary.
