“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.”

I think we have been doing it for about 8 years. The students always enjoy getting the dictionaries and the teachers are pleased as well.
