Why Franklin products?

“These dictionaries are sort of personal,

because no one knows whether a student

cannot spell a word…It takes [the students] less time to use the Franklin [dictionary] than it does

to use a hardcover dictionary.”

Edna Cook, Speech/Language Pathologist & Language Arts Instructor

Simple, intuitive use Tolerance for error Low physical effort Allow privacy Content for all

grade levels Many available

languages
