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 believe this is the 27th year that we’ve donated dictionaries to third graders in the Salina public school system. We’re so glad to have found The Dictionary Project as a source for our dictionaries. I believe this will be the 5th year that you’ve supplied us with the dictionaries for this valuable community project. Every year we receive thank-you notes from the teachers, parents, and especially the students.
