We have given the third graders dictionaries for several years now and the teachers look forward to our donation. They teach a unit on dictionary use, and it works very well for students to each have their own book.. The students love getting their own books. They are very excited that they get to keep them and use them..

This will be our 9th year for the “Words for Thirds” project. It is such a plesure to see how excited the students are to receive a book of their own. Teachers are very grateful as well. Our members who help distribute the dictionaries really enjoy the time spent with the children. It always makes us feel good..
