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
