The Words for Thirds program is a collaboration between Granges and the Dictionary Project designed to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionaries. The dictionaries are a gift to each student during third grade to use at school and home for years to come.
The following Granges are interested in or already participating in a Words for Thirds distribution. If you are a teacher or school administrator interested in the program, please contact Walter Boomsma for assistance.
