I really like the dictionaries we got through your organization with the Pioneers. There were so many words. The dictionaries in our classrooms don’t have most of the words we need to look up. We also used the charts and maps at the back of the book. Also, the students saw this as a prized possession – the first dictionary most ever had.

 Whoever signed us up for those dictionaries, tell them “Thanks” with all my heart! They came just when we are learning about that crazy “schwa” sound & ohhhhh, did they love looking up the schwa sound & syllables in “Their” dictionary! It wouldn’t have been any fun to look all that up in those old classroom dictionaries! This was the best year for teaching... Read More

I want to compliment the publisher, The Dictionary Project, for compiling such an excellent version... Read More

 Dear Mrs. Collier, Thank you for once again coming to the third grade and distributing your amazing dictionaries to the students. As with last year’s students, this year’s are thrilled with their dictionaries. The students cannot get enough time to digest everything; fortunately, they will have more than just this year to satisfy their hunger for absorbing its contents. Hopefully, each student will appreciate... Read More

You have no idea how much the dictionaries have meant to these children. For many, it is the only book they own. Thanks again, Mrs. Freese Harold Keller Elementary Metairie, LA

 Orangefield Elementary 3rd grade students received your gift of words. We appreciate your generosity very much. Our students were so excited. Some are carrying them with them every day. We have been teaching dictionary skills all year. It took on a new meaning when they received their own dictionary to use. Thanks, Barbara Frazier Third grade teachers Orangefield Elementary

 Dear Elks Lodge members, My students and I greatly appreciate the dictionaries you donated to our third grade class at Gale Elementary School. As a teacher I love getting free things for our classroom that I might not have been able to purchase otherwise. The students love the idea of the dictionaries belonging to them and not to the school. They take great ownership... Read More

 Dear North Little Rock Women’s Club, Thank you so much for your wonderful kindness to our students last week. They absolutely love those fantastic dictionaries. They are reading them voraciously! All the information in the back particularly fascinates them. We have students from all walks of life. Some had dictionaries at home, some did not. Never underestimate the power of a book. Again, our... Read More
