    • Great help for my dyslexic son
This may not be the best choice for those who need a large database of words. However, my 12 year old son who has dyslexia finds it incredibly helpful and fun. His spelling is at a third grade level and this helps him to work on his 6th grade work much more independently. Spell check on word documents don't help him find the words he is looking for, but 9 times out of 10 this phonics spell checker does. Plus it gives the definition so that he knows he has chosen the correct word. I use rechargeable batteries and have had this for 3 weeks. We haven't had to recharge them yet, so it seems good on battery use. My 5 year old likes playing with it to try to create words and my 10 year old loves the hangman game and making sentences that it speaks back to you. But it has been the greatest help with my son. ... show more

    • Not a panacea, but it helps
After reading reviews I decided to purchase this product for our 9 year old son who is increasingly asking what certain words mean while he is reading. It soon became clear that this is not something for a 9 year old but would be perfect for our daughter who is 6. The dictionary has a VERY limited number of words and for a 9 year old it simply is insufficient. However, for a 6 year old the device is very helpful, speaking words clearly and offering definitions. Furthermore, both my wife and I have an accent and this product offers a good way to have the kids hear a word pronounced correctly (robot accent wins against Romanian accent). Thus I would recommend this product for young kids but not beyond age 9 (unless used to help with things such as dyslexia). The reason I gave it 3 stars is the flimsiness of this device. I thought that after 20 years in the business of building handhelds you can offer a device that is sturdy, intuitive and ergonomic. Franklin hasn't managed any of these three in this product. ... show more

    • Great tool for little aspiring writers
This is a great tool for kids. My son is 10 and isn't the greatest with reading or writing (or spelling...). This is empowering for him - when he asks, "Mom, how do I spell..." I can say - you have the tools to find out, use your Franklin Speller. Really helps to teach him to own the responsibility and teach resourcefulness. I thought it was a bit pricey, but it's a very nice tool to have for kids transitioning into more creative writing. I'd like to think I'd get it again if I had the need. The only concern I've had is the cover - it's not very sturdy, although we've had it over a year and it hasn't broken (yet). We are very careful with it, though, but it's still in great shape. ... show more

    • Great Educational Tool (Fun Too)
I had one of these when I was a kid. I have never been a good speller. Now as a homeschooling mother of 4 I see why I have never been a good speller! I have a logical brain and the English language is often not logical! What is so great about this tool is that it takes the phonic spelling your child puts in and gives them the correct word. There have been times I have been typing and auto correct on my iPad will not give me the correct spelling of a word because it does not recognize words phonically but rather by letter patterns and I grab my adult version of this tool. My kids LOVE to make the dictionary talk, make lists of words, and play games. It encourages them to spell and use their brains and teaches them grammar rules. It encourages them to write. Often times kids don't pick up their pencils because the dynamics of writing are too hard. If they know they can grab their dictionary and look up a word and the spelling, it gives them confidence. I would recommend this for every child but if you're buying it for your kids to just play games on and you don't have the kind of kid that's interested in words, writing, books, reading...then yes they probably won't like it and you should some other type of "educational" tool for them. The pronunciation is very robotic, yes but we enjoy making fun of it. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because quality is a little lacking. The screen will break easily and it does eat through batteries. ... show more

    • A starter
This dictionary is good for the kids who are in grade 1 or 2. It has limited vocabulary. Speech is poor. The main problem I found is that it froze many times while looking for the words and I had to reset the battery. On the whole, it didn't meet my expectation. I suggest to have a kindle or similar e-readers which can have a handy dictionary and much more than that. Are there any good speaking-dictionaries as kindle apps? ... show more

    • Son loves it
I bought this for my son who is in third grade and needs help with spelling. He loves it! He uses it as entertainment, not just for school work, looking up various words, listening to the audio and playing games with his spelling words. It works perfectly for our needs, he types in how he thinks the word is spelled and the dictionary then gives him the correct spelling and pronunciation so he can be sure it is the same as the word he intended. Others have complained of the odd voice on the talking dictionary but it is certainly not unintelligible by any means. It has held up well with normal use, no broken parts. We are happy with this purchase. ... show more

    • Loved it while it lasted
My 11 year old autistic son loved this talking dictionary until it stopped reading the words after about a week. It was never handled roughly. It just stopped rather suddenly for no apparent reason. Of course - the paperwork that came with it basically said, oh well. too bad. Other reviews suggested it wouldn't last - but I wanted to give it a try. ... show more
