Review: This was a nice present to my ESL students when they graduated.
Review: 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.

## Features

- Complete Childrens Dictionary with 46,000 words
- Animated guide models print & cursive, repeats with the touch of a button
- Phonetic spelling correction

### ⭐⭐ Review
*by A***E on 21 August 2009*

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.
