California Dictionary Project

California Dictionary Project, founded in April 2002, grew out of the need to improve literacy rates in California's public schools. We believe that by reaching children early (third grade), providing them with tools (dictionaries), personalizing the delivery (volunteers from the local community) and teaching them how to use those tools (presentations and teacher lesson plans), we can grow "readers." By giving students access to language and ideas, we give them access to alternatives that can affect the course of their lives.
