Why Dictionaries?

Mission Statement

We believe a dictionary is perhaps the first and most powerful reference tool that a child should own. Its usefulness goes beyond the spellings, pronunciations, and definitions it lists; it is a companion for solving problems that arise as a child develops his or her reading, writing, and creative thinking abilities. Students benefit from an increased self-reliance and resourcefulness when they "look it up". Teachers benefit by knowing that their students have consistent access to a tool for homework and in-class explorations.

The dictionaries used in our program are selected from all of the dictionaries available on the market. We are limited by cost so we tend to use dictionaries that we can obtain for less than $1.70. By keeping per dictionary costs low, we can include as many students as possible in the program.
