I am a studious student at New York City Public School 26 in a small place called Fresh Meadows. My favorite subject is gym but I do better at my reading and vocabulary.

This is our first year participating. My husband and I use our reading skills every single day and are excited about the opportunity to give reading tools to students in our community. The Dictionary Project was enthusiastically recommended to me by a reading specialist who benefited from receiving a dictionary when she was a kid.
Elaine Kam, Rotary District 5000, Hawaii
Dear Hawaii Rotarians, In October, my third-grade granddaughter came home from school saying excitedly, "Mom! Guess what? My classmates and I each got a neat dictionary today!" (from the Rotary Club of Kahala Sunrise). Upon further inquiry, I discovered that the Rotary District Chairperson, Gloria King, from the Rotary Clubs of Honolulu and most recently of the Rotary Club of Kahala Sunrise, learned about...

Marina Barnett, Granada, CA
Dear Mr. Small, This is a rather belated thank-you for the class set of dictionaries. It was an incredible gesture, very generous and helpful. Third grade is the year when students start to use the dictionary independently, and it is often very difficult to get families to provide one for their child. So along you came and gave one to each and every one... Read More

Mr. Bert Winton: Thank you so much for your generous donation of dictionaries to our Third Grade students. It was a perfect gift for them because they are just now learning to become proficient with resource books. We especially like these dictionaries because they are at the correct level of difficulty for 8 year old children and the print is clear and easily read.... Read More
