    • Great Tool for Younger Students at Home or School
The Franklin HW-1216 is the perfect tool for helping younger students check their work and learn new words. I ordered three for my third grade classroom - they seem perfect for this age. The feature that makes the spell-check work for students is that when you enter a word with your best spelling guess, you get not only a list of correctly spelled words, but brief dictionary definitions as well. If you think about it, kids might not otherwise be able to distinguish between words with very close spellings. In addition to the speller and dictionary, this model also has word games like hangman, and a feature that will show you the word you enter in cursive. It's a very useful addition to the homework toolkit, and good for travel as well. ... show more

    • Very disapointing
I bought this dictionary for my 3rd grade daughter to help her on spelling. The excitement was gone in 30 minutes after not being able to find more than 3 words in 10 searches. Many easy words can't be found, and most of word descriptions are so simple that she still can't really understand the full meaning of the words. The calculator feature in the dictionary is pretty much useless. She likes to play Hangman with me, but we always have to add the word to the word list, and ask Hangman to get the word from the list. There is also a game called fun with Spanish and French..it was interesting to look the sentences in Spanish & French once, and that is about it. The screen resolutoin is very low, so the letters are quite jaggy. I am very disappointed with this particular dictionary. Maybe I should try the other more expensive models. ... show more

    • Great product - keeps kids from constantly asking "How do you spell...?"
This has been a very neat item that we use in our "Homework bag." My children are in the 2nd and 3rd grades and are constantly asking how to spell something. While I don't mind helping, I don't want to spell everything for them. My parents and teachers had us to look things up in the dictionary when I was growing up and this is along the same lines. I like that it's lightweight and being in our "Homework bag" can be lugged around when and where needed. My children don't have unlimited access to our computers and I don't always have time to sit down with them to make sure they stay on homework and don't get distracted by other things. This helps with that. The kids can type how they think the word is spelled and this gives them the correct spelling and definition. There are also games included. Although my children haven't used it for that as much. However, there is a cursive writing option that my oldest uses quite a bit. You type in the word and that word is written on the screen in cursive writing. It's made it so much easier for my 3rd grader to practice cursive writing. She likes to come up with her own sentences to write in cursive and not just the words and simple sentences used on worksheets for practice. Overall, it's a good product and works well for us. ... show more

    • Piece of junk
Did not open until my granddaughter's birthday. New batteries. Am experienced computer, device user. Not a chance that we misread instructions or lacked skill. Worked for 5 minutes and then started getting garbage. Reset as well as the logical turn it off and on and the usual problem solving. Device simply is poorly made. Someone thought that a flashy case would do it. Don't waste your money. Return policy plus cost makes it nonsense to return and I certainly don't want a replacement. ... show more

    • Hours of entertainment and educational experience for children!
This product is perfect for kids, especially younger elementary school students, I would say between ages 5 to 10 or so. I bought this for my son for his tenth birthday, and he loves it! What a great way to entertain and learn at the same time! I remember owning one of these things myself, but it was an older version, with much less graphics and features. He loves the Spanish and French dictionary, and the greetings. The dictionary is pretty good for kids, but is missing critical words and the definitions are sometimes a little... blunt. Other than that, it has made homework time for my son, not only easier and faster, but much more enjoyable! ... show more

    • Great, while it lasted
I liked this dictionary. It was the right size (not too big to be heavy, not too small so that my six-yr-old would lose it.) It kept my daughter from asking me a million questions about what words meant, because I could just direct her to her special dictionary. The buttons were big enough for little hands, and the design (the way it looks) appeals to children. We used this dictionary every day for about a week, when I accidentally dropped it (from about waist level, and I'm only five feet) and it stopped working. Granted, Franklin didn't make any claims for indestructibility, but seeing that it's something made for children that will be tossed around, dropped, thrown in a book bag or a desk-should be a tad sturdier than it is. ... show more

    • Helpful for homework
I bought this for my 4th grader who is bombarded with homework every day. This has been very helpful in assisting him with his homework. He has told me that it has made a difference in getting his work done more efficiently and quickly. I love the spelling feature which corrects him if he spells a word incorrectly. He uses the dictionary the most which saves him the time of looking it up in a traditional dictionary. Well worth the money. ... show more
