It is a handheld spelling corrector and dictionary that is a must-have for students struggling with spelling and finding the right words for writing. Enter phonetic spelling and it displays the right word. Speaking Homework Wiz pronounces all words, definitions and help text out loud. It helps with error-prone homophones such as ant, the insect, and aunt, the relative. It identifies words by pattern such as hat, bat, cat, etc.
Students can store and practice their weekly vocabulary words.
There are 40,000 basic definitions. The device is the equivalent in size of a typical calculator. It requires four AAA batteries. I have also found this device to be a great motivator for the young child just learning how to read. Entering their spelling words, they could hear the word spoken.
