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 our 10 year and we plan to continue. This gives us the chance to serve every child in Des Moines County. This is an excellent program for everyone concerned. The schools love it, the children like the books and the Kiwanians think it is one of our best programs.
