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 American Legion,
Thank you for giving the student’s dictionary to me. I love it because it helps me learn new stuff. I also love it because it tells about the presidents. Thank you for buying all those dictionaries. It was kind, generous, nice of you. Where do you get all of this money to buy all of these dictionaries?
Your friend,
Kelsey
