Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Reference skills are an important part of using the library and for students to develop their research skill toolbox. One important reference material is in a dictionary. Dictionaries help students learn how to spell words as well as learn their definitions. Using a paper dictionary helps students acquire a broader vocabulary, teaches correct spelling and spelling patterns, and fosters reading comprehension.

The addition of a set of Merriam-Webster Student Dictionaries will help my students develop their vocabulary and language skills, as well as help them learn how to search for information in a book.

Students often struggle when searching for information on the computer and in print and using a dictionary will help them improve those skills and create more rounded learners.
