This annual project provides dictionaries to 3rd graders at our adopted school, Scotland Park Elementary School. The dictionary's are the students to keep. We at Wichita Falls North RC recognize that learning to read is paramount to academic success. Prior to 3rd grade students are learning how to read. In 3rd grade and for the remainder of their academic career, students are reading to learn. A dictionary is a wonderful tool for learning. Even with todays digital tools, teachers tell us that using a dictionary is much more effective in helping the students learn. Some students may come from families that can't afford books at home. Club members are making sure all 3rd graders can enhance their learning opportunities by providing dictionaries.
