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 Mr. Rieth and The Optimist Club,
My name is Paige and I am at St. Ferdinand school in forth grade.
Thank you for the dictionary. I use it all the time. My favorite part is the multiplication chart because it is cool. My family thought it was awesome! I love it thank you so much.
Thank you,
Paige
