 Very helpful! January 6, 2009
I bought this for my 9yr old son. He asked for it as a Christmas present so he could use it for school. His first day back it was helpful! He had to write his spelling words in cursive. Usually, I have to write the words in cursive first so that he can look at how it's done. Very time consuming..not last night, lol..he just typed in the words and it shows you step-by-step how it should look.

It arrived on time. I gave to someone it as a Christmas gift. So far nothing to complain. It seemed easy to use and easy to replace the batteries.
Great tool for helping your child! December 31, 2008
I bought this dictionary/spell corrector for my 10 year old daughter in hopes that she will rely on this for spelling help as opposed to my computer. =) Everything seems to work great, but I cannot get the back to screw on properly for holding the batteries. Other than that, great tool!
Franklin KID-1240 Children's Talking Dictionary/Spell Corrector November 19, 2008
My granddaughter who is 6 just loved this talking dictionary. She is starting to read (pretty well, actually) and sometimes asks her parents what a certain word means. Also, she on occasion asks how to spell certain words. When she started using this item, she immediately loved it! It is a lot easier for a six year old to use an electronic gadget to "look up" a word than to use a dictionary. So this turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Additionally, she loves the games, especially "Hangman". I would recommend this item to parents and grandparents as a neat gift for a 6-9 year old who is reading. It was everything I hoped it would be.

It was almost impossible to install the batteries, the voice was not clear enough and the batteries went out way too quickly
