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.

The Wakefield Lodge of Elks #1276 has had a wonderful relationship for many years with the Dictionary Project. We hope for many, many more. The hundreds of school children who benefit from this activity are a crowning achievement for all involved.
