Speaking Homework Wiz
© 2003 Franklin Electronic Publishers
Toss this in the backseat on your next road trip for a more educational Game Boy alternative. This is a talking, handheld electronic dictionary designed to help children spell, write and understand 40,000 words. Each is defined with a simple, brief definition. There is also an arithmetic tutor, a calculator, and a handwriting animation feature that demonstrates how to write printed and cursive words. Children can use the custom word list to practice their weekly spelling words, and there are seven games like word "Jumble" and "Fun with Spanish". We found the device intuitive to use and fun. Requires 4 AAA batteries. A headphone jack is available.
