My kids (5-10) use this frequently when they are not sure how to spell a word (you type in how you think it is spelled and if your wrong it will give you the correct spelling) They also like the tic tac toe. The only problem we have is some words are not there. My daughter was studying for the 5th grade spelling bee and I would say about 1/3 of the words she was studying could not be found in the dictionary. I am coming on now to find a more advanced dictionary. For the price this is a great value.

I bought this for my 7-year-old daughter so that I wouldn’t have to constantly help her spell words. But the spell checker on this is very weak. There have been numerous times she’d spell a word phonetically and the suggested word list of correctly spelled words was nowhere near the word she was trying to use. (Oftentimes because the word itself was not part of the word bank.) Yet my 20-year-old Seiko Spell Checker/Dictionary/Thesaurus often suggested the correctly spelled word immediately (based on the same wrong spelling). If you are simply looking for a limited spell checker/dictionary of commonly used words, this is okay. If you want a spell checker that helps your child to spell words without your assistance, look at other brands/versions. This one seems more geared to being cute (saying hello to your child when they turn it on) and offering games for them to play. It doesn’t do as much to help young, enthusiastic writers to broaden their vocabulary and enhance their spelling ability. I’m going with a better version because this one is more of a toy than a tool.

I personally haven’t used the dictionary, but my 10 year old some really likes it. It was “recommended” for each child in his fourth grade class. I think the big thing that it does is show them how the word looks written in cursive. There were more expensive models, but this was the best for the money.

We bought three of these for our three children, ages 11, 9, 7, to use with writing and to play with on road trips. The lids off all three broke off without any abuse at all. They are just not that well-made. But even though the lids broke off, the kids can still use them. Our oldest, almost 11, has repeatedly found words it does not know that can be added. But, he was disappointed that it didn’t know more words.

I bought this for my 4th grader who is bombarded with homework every day. This has been very helpful in assisting him with his homework. He has told me that it has made a difference in getting his work done more efficiently and quickly. I love the spelling feature which corrects him if he spells a word incorrectly. He uses the dictionary the most which saves him the time of looking it up in a traditional dictionary. Well worth the money.
