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 for 6 years now I think and find it very rewarding to see the looks on their faces when they receive a book that is theirs to keep. Some of these children have never owned a book that was just for them. This is a very worthwhile project and we plan on continuing with it a few more years.
