Who wrote the first English dictionary?

1/7/2015

Yes, it was that crusty 18th century curmudgeon, Samuel Johnson. It took him nine years, although he claimed it was only three.  He wrote the first English dictionary that influenced the English language for hundreds of years. He wrote it without a typewriter. Without a computer. Yes, he did it all by hand--with a  quill pen and ink. Would you have had the grit to do that?

    Good writing is a cornerstone of success in life. It is also essential building block for academic success. 

    But many students face barriers when it comes to English composition. This might come from harsh words from an early English teacher or a  lack of confidence, in their own academic skills.

    No matter what, the first step  in teaching English composition is to discover what is holding the student back; and then jumping over that barrier. 

    This may take something "extra" --outside today's distance learning environment. But it's worth it. It will help your student succeed in acquiring these English composition and reading skills--so necessary to both academic and "real" life success.
