We have been giving dictionaries to third graders in New London Schools for several years, maybe 6 or 7. The kids and teachers love them. The books are a great value. They contain not only definitions but a lot of other very good information for students.

We have participated for many years and plan to continue. It is so worthwhile.

I & the Grange think this is a great project that helps the students learn their words for class & also this is the 1st book that some of these students have ever owned for themselves.

This is the fifth or sixth year we have been participating in the dictionary project. We truly enjoy getting to deliver the dictionaries to the students. It is fun to watch them open their own dictionary and how excited they are.
