Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased four of these spellers for my fifth grade classroom, I had two older models of the Franklin spelling ace and thought I would give this new version a whirl.
Good Points:
They are small and fit on the top of a student's desk without interfering with the writing space.
The batteries are behind a cover that screws shut - read: no flying batteries during our writing sessions.
The thesaurus is terrific.
Bad Points:
The cover is hard to open and is another step in getting to the tool.
The Spelling Ace is not intuitive - you must read the directions closely in order to have the speller work properly. Reading directions, remembering directions and following directions are not skills that most adults have mastered let alone fifth graders.
This last bad point is my fault and one that I had not thought about before purchasing...I wish that I had purchased one with audio - my students who use these need that sound/letter correlation in order to remember how to spell the word they are looking up (and recognize the word when they see it).
