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 Mr. Schilling and Elks Lodge,
Thank you for the dictionary! I think you are very nice. I like the book because it has a lot of words I could not even write. Words like dice and Tennessee. I always wanted a dictionary and now I finally have one. Now, I can look up words wherever I go. It helps me pronounce words, too.
Your friend,
James
