Mom0012 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'd like for my son to be able to use this when he is writing. Or is this a bad idea? It seems that as long as he is able to recognize the words that may be misspelled, this would be a great thing to have. Thanks! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisasaysto Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 My son has severe dyslexia. His diagnosis included educational recommendations, and one of them was that we provide him with this device for writing projects: http://www.franklin.com/estore/dictionary/sa-206/ There are similar ones with a full dictionary on the same site; this one only has a thesaurus and spell check. It seems like there's a pretty broad price range among the products available. I don't think it would be any different than using a traditional dictionary to look up words, other than possibly missing the practice with finding things in an alphabetical list.

NoPlaceLikeHome Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 There is a free web site available that we use and love: http://www.dictionary.com Webster's has a dictionary that is a subscription for about 24.00/year I think but so far I have found the free one great:) The advantage is that it has pronunciation, history of the word, synonyms, meanings, and sentences:) They also have the small netbook computers for about $200-300.
