Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Fort Worth, Texas

Total Budget: $840

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: Literacy

Summary: Dictionaries for third Graders in four disadvantaged Fort Worth Elementary Schools


We intend to order and deliver specially designed dictionaries for four Fort Worth Elementary Schools including:

Van Zandt-Quinn, 94 students

Briscoe, 71 students

Eastern Hills, 80

East Handley 77

Total 322 students

Estimated total cost $820

These dictionaries will be delivered as early as possible in this school year (2017-2018)

We do not not just drop off the dictionaries and leave. We require the school to hold an all 3rd grade Assembly. We then pass out the dictionaries to each student. Then a club leader provides a 45 minute class on how to use the dictionaries effectively.

The club leader selects key words, asks the student to find them in the dictionary, then selects a student to read the definition. Meanwhile other club members circulate among the students assisting those students who need additional help.

Teachers typically tell us the dictionaries are the first book the students have ever received for their own use and care. The teachers are amazed at the overall contents of the dictionaries beyond just words and definitions

It is very heartwarming to see the smiles on their faces when we give them their dictionary.

Normally, several of the club members attend each school their schedule permitting. All club members participate at one or more four schools.
