Mrs. Webber provides a detailed instructional video on how to use the Franklin Speller. The device possesses a multitude of functions that aid struggling readers with tools to work through difficult reading without having to give up on the task. With this device, a struggling reader can gain more independence.
Not only does the device help pronounce words that are unfamiliar to readers, but it can provide synonyms as well. The device also assists with critical skills, such as spelling and auditory comprehension of words. If properly trained on how to use the device, a student can accelerate their development in reading skills. In turn, this will help educators who must work with multiple struggling readers at once.

Key takeaways

  1. Mrs. Webber shows viewers how to use the Franklin dictionary machine to help with spelling.
  2. The machine can define the word, sound it out, or provide exercises to practice with the vocabulary.
  3. The machine can also help children process words aurally.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
