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.

I don’t know exactly how many years we have done this now, but it has been quite a few years. The third grade teachers always look forward to this gift. It is a huge help to the students and teachers when they are learning how to use a dictionary. It really helps that all the students are looking in the same book. The students are very excited that they get to keep the dictionary.
