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.

We have been doing this project for 7 years now, and it is very rewarding to see the children’s faces when they know why we have come to pass out the dictionaries. Because we are a small town children know us and ask when will you bring my dictionary. Some have older siblings that have received a dictionary in the past. This is the best outreach project for kids that I know of.
