Basic Fun Speak & Spell Electronic Game

We gave to my 6 years old daughter and she enjoys play/ learn with it.For her sometimes the words are to fast or confusing but in general she loves it.

Nice sound is not clear enough to understand the words correctky

This is a great toy. That said I got about 10 minutes of my 6 year olds attention with this. That might not seem like much, but it was a full 10 minutes of her learning to spell. I sent it home to her mom, and she will play with her as well as she can. Its easy to work with and read from. It's pretty lightweight, but seems durable enough. Great value for what it is .

Was searching Speak & Spell since long.When I was a child I used play and learn with speak n spell and speak n math's.Not getting speak n math's but at last got the spell one. Can see my kids loving it.A simple gadget for kids to learn in this modern era. Simple and nostalgic

I had one of these when I was around 6 years old and it helped my spelling immeasurably. Years later I would be diagnosed as having Dyslexia (as an adult) and the assessor believed that my time with the Speak & Spell was what made it so hard for my learning challenge to be discovered. Essentially, I had gotten used to seeing the words as an image, which is why I can spell well, despite having some issues reading from certain fonts and page colours. I brought this for my 6 year old granddaughters who adore it and have barely put it down since they got one for Christmas. To see the joy on their faces as they play with the Speak & Spell (even with the authentic American accent and spelling quirks), takes me right back to a happier time in my early youth. It makes their enjoyment of it feel so validating and is a testament to the effectiveness of the product and its design. Kids everywhere have way more advanced screens and sound on the most common of devices, but there is something to be said for the benefit of nostalgia, intertwined with shared child hood experiences that have 40 years between them. Couldn’t recommend enough.

I just had this delivered today- it came with the batteries installed but I couldn't turn it on. I did some googling and came across the tip about the reset button in the back- that did the trick and it seems to be working great. Kids love the "code" function and hangman. They plan on playing a spy game with the codes. Both my 6 year old and my 9 year old can use it for spelling as well- as there are 4 levels of words. They also love that it is the toy from "E.T."Compared to the original- it is definitely lighter, and the letters seem to be bigger on the display. I personally love that unlike most of their electronics- they are not connected to wifi.Update- haven’t used this much over the past while but now not all the keys work. Only keys located in centre or the device are working. Disappointed.

This brings back so many memories. I just love seeing my nephews using something I treasured as a child. Just love it.
