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 Center for Living, Thank you for the dictionary. I love it. I can use it if I don’t know a word on my math paper, or if I need to spell a word. I have one at home but it is not for students. I can use this dictionary any time because its mine. I cannot thank you a tiny bit, I have to thank you a lot. Love, Vashti
