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 Mrs. French Thank you for giving me a dictionary. I am very thankful because I write poems and use big words. I will always use it. Mayra
