My 10 year old daughter LOVES this! Part of her assignment for her Spelling words, is to write out the definitions. This is handy and it gives child friendly definitions that she understands.

Bought this for elementary grade son and we use while reading daily. He looks up words he is unfamiliar with (at least three). Helps build vocabulary.

A must for struggling readers, 12/27/2008

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I teach reading to adults with learning disabilities. My students love this device because it gives them independence. It is affordable, has all of the essential words and definitions, and is easy to use. The speaking part is a computerized voice that is easy to understand, although not perfect. It is a life saver for those who struggle with sounding out words.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We purchased this for our son, who is an English Language Learner. He uses it when he comes across a word when reading that he does not know. Really love that if there is a word in the definition that he also does not know, he can highlight it and it will look it up.

The product was nice; however, there are quite a few words we could not find in the dictionary. Overall it is nice and my children enjoy it.

This product is awesome and very helpful for my third grader. If you comparison shop these, be sure that it's the speaking product because you can find Franklin Spellers that are less expensive but that is because they do not talk. This is important feature because my kids are not sure they have looked up the correct word until they hear it spoken. Walmart.com had the best price anywhere online so if this is the product you want, you are done shopping!

This product has proven to be very useful and a great educational tool for my children. Not only can you use the dictionary function, but it also checks spelling and has games to help kids enjoy spelling without even knowing it!! I would highly recommend this product!

By SewMuchToDo, Illinois
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We were advised to try a franklin spell checker for my son who has some anxiety problems and will not continue with work if he is unsure of spelling a word. This product is great! He is even having fun with it looking up words he might not understand or know how to pronounce. I would buy another without hesitation.
