I think this project is invaluable. I have heard some people say that all is accessible on the internet, but that is not true. Thank you for this project!.
Laura Landis, New London Grange # 2401, Nova, OH
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..
Judith Embree, Kiwanis Club of Rancho Murieta, Rancho Murieta, CA
I have been participating for four years and as the Chairperson for the last three have doubled the number of schools to which we give books. It is a gratifying event, the children are very responsive and send us wonderful thank you letters. This is a wonderful and exciting project that should be available in every school in the nation.

As Literary Chair for my Rotary Club, I LOVE using The Dictionary Project. It allows us to reach the maximum amount of children in our school district for a very reasonable cost..

This will be our second year to distribute dictionaries to 3rd graders in the Wilkes County Schools. We plan to continue this program on an annual basis..

Sharon Croucher, Clifton Springs Grange # 1042, Clifton Springs, NY
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..
Kyle Gibbs, Optimist Club of Marshall, Marshall, MO
We have been doing this project longer than I have been a member of the Optimist Club. I would say that we have been handing out dictionaries for 20 years or more..

We have been participated for many years. We think this program is an awesome way to help our schools! Feedback we receive is that the 3rd graders continue to use their dictionaries as they continue up the education ladder..

Tiffani Graham, Rotary Club of Park Forest, Park Forest, IL
I have been chair of the dictionary program for 3 years and really enjoy going into the schools and meeting the kids. I think the dictionary program is wonderful because of the look on the children’s faces when they learn that they will be receiving their very own dictionaries,.
