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 Dictionary Project, Thank you very much for the dictionary. That was very thoughtful of you. I really, really appreciate it. I love finding out what the longest word is. That is very long. I also liked seeing sign language. Thank you very much for the dictionary. There are so many things a third grader can find out with a dictionary that thick. I love the dictionary a lot! Sincerely, Maggie
