Dictionary Project December, 2009 The Rotary Club of Kelseyville Sunrise Third Grade Dictionary Project is a literacy project aiming to provide dictionaries to all third grade students living in the Kelseyville, California, area. In third grade, students are beginning to learn word and dictionary skills. By giving each student a dictionary to own and take home, these children will have the resource in their home to develop the very important word skills required of all students. Dictionaries are very useful to all students and more specifically to English Language Learners and students living below the poverty level. In addition, having dictionaries on-hand mean that parents and guardians will be in a better position to assist with their child's homework. In doing so, they will also become more competent learners and teachers of their child. Rotarians and Interact students work together to hand out the dictionaries each year.
