5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any child with learning differences!, September 12, 2005

By	Kristine Hornsby "Homeschool Mom of Two" (McKinney, TX, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My daughter is almost 9 and still not reading (dyslexia characteristics and auditory processing issues). The Franklin Speaking Interactive Childrens Dictionary has given her the confidence to look up words on her own and then read them. She loves to type out sentences and then hits the speak button and it'll read the whole sentence for her.

I think this would be perfect for any special needs or non-verbal child at a very good price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gift of Knowledge!, February 18, 2007

By	J. Miller (Bayonne, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is wonderful, I put my sons' spelling words in this, I have to get two more as I have four boys. It is wonderful at the definitions for 6-10 years old. This device has word scramble game, missing letter, tic tac toe and a few others. It shows you how to practice writing words in manuscript and cursive.

4.0 out of 5 stars long time user, March 8, 2007

By	A. Wooley (beaver falls, pa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is our second electronic dictionary. I got it for my sister, who is an adult with Down syndrome. Her first was an older version of the same product, and it lasted for a good 4 years of constant use. She takes it everywhere and uses it every day. The last one finally broke after being dropped, and not for the first time. I really think I got my moneys worth! She finds it easy to use, and she enjoys playing hangman. The vocabulary is limited; I've tried to look up many words that are not included. For a child or a handicapped person like my sister, tho, I think it would work fine.
