📚 Enhance Your Child's Language Skills with Franklin KID-1240 Children's Talking Dictionary and Spell Corrector Review

Absolutely WONDERFUL item. I worked with a child who was severely retarded in reading. He quickly learned to use the element and rely on correct spelling and pronunciation. This helped him improve his reading and speaking skills so much that we went to the library to look at some of the books that interested him and he agreed. I can't imagine that reading well isn't possible these days, but this is definitely the right tool to help. Later it will be passed on to his younger siblings and I will…

Last week we entered…

After reading the reviews I decided to buy this product for our 9 year old son who is reading more and more wondering what certain words mean.

The dictionary has a VERY limited number of words and just isn't enough for a 9 year old. Your device is very helpful as it speaks words clearly and provides definitions. Also, both my wife and I have accents, and this product…

I rated this kid's device so my comments wouldn't get buried in a bunch of overly positive 'reviews'. This is a unique device, what Franklin Electronic "books" usually are. I have had 2 Franklin Bookman products for several years, each with slots for additional Bookman books (own ROM cards). I complain that Franklin hasn't written enough books for her. I have a college dictionary, a bible, a short encyclopedia, and a Spanish-English dictionary. Aside from my complaint that Franklin didn't put…
