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.

Patricia Nilsson, Rotary Club of Boise Sunrise, Boise, ID

Boise Sunrise Rotary has been distributing dictionaries for a few years. It is a popular event with our members, as they love to see the smiles on the children’s faces when they receive their new dictionary.
