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.

Mrs. Peters’ class, The Dictionary Project

Dear Ms. French,
Thank you for sending us our dictionaries. They have helped us with our writing. Now we can look up the meaning of our favorite words. We like how much our dictionaries will help us get ready for fourth grade! We know we will keep using them until we get to college. We really appreciate you giving these dictionaries to us.
Sincerely,
Your friends in Mrs. Peters class
