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 The Dictionary Project, I want to thank you for the dictionaries because it helps us learn words. It is good because when we get in the fourth grade we will know the words. I am glad that we have dictionaries because it makes us learn hard words we don’t know. It’s great to learn words that we don’t know and how to say them. I am glad people are trying to help us learn how to spell words. Love,
