MANUFACTURER WARRANTY:andnbsp;andnbsp;90 DAYS Amazon.com Product Description: Is your child struggling with spelling, penmanship, or just unwilling to surrender to the vocabulary homework? The Franklin KID-240 SpeakingHomework Wiz shows young students how the assigned word is written with an instant penmanship lesson, in manuscript or cursive style. At the press of a few buttons, you or your child can peruse definitions, explore related words, and hear them pronounced. It also offers features that help you find words that you aren't sure how to spell. The Franklin KID-240 Speaking Homework Wiz offers automatic spelling correction for close to 50,000 words, and articulates 40,000 basic and coherent definitions. You can use the unit to prepare study lists and build them into games and flash cards, turning rote vocabulary lessons into fun. The KID-240 also pronounces all the words and their definitions. The appealing handwriting animation models penmanship in either manuscript or cursive writing styles. The Franklin KID-240 Speaking Homework Wiz is portable and light, only 0.6 pounds (a little more with the four AAA batteries, not included). It's easy to take with you in the car for diversion on long drives. It provides four built-in word games, including the ever-popular Hangman, to enable the user to review a weekly word list. There is also an automatic shutdown to save battery life. Speaking Homework Wiz is a study tool designed after the idea that children who enjoy the learning process improve not only their test scores but their overall feeling about school. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great idea, made shabbyI bought this for my 7 year old (2nd grade) who unfortunately has my personal affliction of not being able to spell that well. We tried the traditional route of book dictionaries but they were heavy and cumbersome and took lots of time to find the words. Especially if it was a derivative of a word like friendly instead of friend. The longer it took the more frustrated he became and his homework was starting to suffer. Most kids limit their writing to what they can easily spell and his work looked ... Read More: Rating:  - Speaking part is not aggrable with standard phoneticsI agree with dictionary part. It works great for kids. The speaking part is generated as from synthesis of computer speaking. Which is not same as standard phonetic practice. I thnik technology didn't match to the existing phonetic practice. I will prefer Franklin HW 216 Homework Wiz Plus instead of this one for the given price. Also the cover design did not take consideration of kids, they are fragile. My kid broke the cover in the second day. Rating:  - Excellent product for students with learning disabilitiesThe speaking feature is a Godsend for students with reading disabilities. Excellent phonetic spell checking feature with homonym support (students can easily figure out when to use to, too or two, or their, there, they're, etc with built in features). Best for elementary,some middle school age students.I do wish there was a way to upgrade to their larger dictionary. Rating: - A Must Have for Elementary LD studentsAny child with a written language disorder can benefit from this mini electronic equipment. It can end editing battles and final product disasters when used appropriately. I recommend it to all parents I meet who have a Learning Disabled child. Rating: - Also great for adult learning English.I bought the KID-240 for my 55 years old mother who's learning English as a second language. She loves its colorful design, its big font (so she can see even without glasses), and its low battery consumption. The pronunciation sounds very robotic compares to what I get from the Encarta Encyclopedia on my PC, but it gives her enough hint. She's been using it for about 4 months and it's still loud and clear on its first set of batteries. My complaint, though, is that it's so hard to put the batteries ... Read More: |
