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 Elks,
Thank you for my dictionary. I love my new dictionary I will take very, very good care of it. When you gave me the dictionary I felt like I was being rewarded from the most specialest people on earth. I hope you will give more kids dictionaries so they can be happy too.
Sincerely,
Natalie
