Dictionary Distribution set for Wednesday, October 14th

 

The Sycamore Rotary Club will again be providing free dictionaries to all 3rd grade students in our local schools; they will be distributed on Wednesday, October 14th, immediately following the Rotary Club meeting.

 

The Dictionary Project works with Rotary and a number of other organizations to provide dictionaries to students.  Children in 3rd grade are the traditional recipients; they are at an age when they're starting to learn and consider the meanings of words, and giving them access to a dictionary encourages that process.

 

And while many children don't have books of their own, due to tight family finances or the presence of electronic media, having a book to call their own encourages their overall interest in reading.
