The Dictionary Project

TO KEEP ABREAST OF THE LATEST PUBLICATIONS AND PROGRAMS OR TO ORDER BOOKS FOR YOUR LOCAL 3RD GRADERS, CHECK BACK AT THE DICTIONARY PROJECT SITE OFTEN.

The goal of this program is to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary. The dictionaries are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come. Educators see third grade as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn, so we encourage our sponsors to give dictionaries each year to children in the third grade.

With the support of local sponsors and volunteers, we want to provide a dictionary to every student in the United States. In this way we hope to help them to improve their communication skills and make the most of their education. Many of our sponsors are also taking the Dictionary Project beyond the United States, to help improve literacy worldwide.
