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 Mr. Merritt,
I wanted to thank you, and the Community Service Committee, for the dictionaries that you handed out to the third graders at Cambridge Springs Elementary School, especially to my daughter, Kylie. She came home very excited about her new dictionary and that she can keep it as she progresses through school. As a parent, I was so pleased to see such a valuable learning tool handed out.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Amy Wensel

I just wanted to say thank you for the AWESOME DICTIONARY!
From, Kylie
