There is a feature that allows you to type in a word the way it sounds and the Dictionary will correct it. For example: You can type in "oshun" & it will be corrected to : "ocean". It is explained in the instructions. I cant do it by e-mail. I hope this helps.

I would not use the speller for this purpose. My 7 year tries to type a word that is so Off target that the speller doesn't offer the intended choices. It is sort of like auto spell/correct on a typical smart phone meaning no way near what I was trying to type :)

My grandson was 8 when he received this gift and although he was able to read the directions for the experiments he mostly did them with his grandpa but I think someone at least 7 years old would be okay as long as they can read. I do not have the box to share the ages at this time.

Yep. As long as they aren't the type of 5 year old who puts small things in their mouth. Some adult help with instructions may be helpful

I've played it with an 11- and 13-year-old, who are very smart! However, they also skipped a lot of words they didn't know, so as long as you let children do that, there are plenty of words/phrases that they can use.

I don't understand your question, are any of your words missing? My grandson was completely happy with the Lego set. It is very complex and challenging.

I believe it's called the reading pen. It's used with the Leapfrog books and reds out loud by touching the words.

I wouldn't feel qualified to answer that because I don't know your child. I'd recommend that you speak with you child's teacher who is familiar with your child's abilities and needs. If you are a home schooler, you could certainly order the software, teach yourself to use it (which is fun and useful anyway), then just try it with your child. If he has no speech or hearing impairment, I would predict that he would pick it up just fine if he's interested.

No, he talks at the slightest movement or squeeze. But my daughter loves it. Would recommend one that doesn't make sounds for cuddling/sleeping.

My apologies, my grandson lives 1600 miles from me and I have not actually heard it talk. I just know he liked it. I have ordered two more different ones for Christmas where I will be able to see him open them and play with them. Then I can comment more reliably.

I purchased this for my 3 year old grandson. He does well with it. A 2 year old might be a little young if they like to put things in their mouth.

Paul, I'll have to get back to you on your question. My grandson has the talking train at his house. I will be going over there on Friday and then I will be able to answer your question. By that time, you probably will have your answer.

Yes, press his ears. Different phrases on each ear. His mouth opens when he speaks. My 15 month granddaughter loves it.

I really don't know. The blue/yellow Furby my grandaughter had was broken by a playmate and has not said a word in 6 months. I gave her another one, black, and black Furby is talking pretty well, better than I remember the Blue/Yellow fellow, in fact. It's odd that some talk better than others.

I don't think so. I bought it for my 5 year old grandsons for Christmas. They love it but cannot read yet so need help following the directions. By 8 he should be able to do on his own.

NO! I never heard ours say that. Mine is all wrapped up for a gift or I would go check exactly what it says, but I pressed the buttons a lot and never heard it say anything like that. It said funny phrases, but they were all cute and completely age appropriate.

It depends how old the kids are - they just may not know what some words mean... Sputnik, for example. I think there are a few words we have encountered that may be considered inappropriate - sexual in nature. We skip them and also have the kids skip words they dont know (10 years old) or we skip words we know they dont know.

No, it doesn't speak. However, it is well worth purchasing. I teach moderately to severely learning disabled children. Their proofreading has improved tremendously and is a very easy accommodation to implement.
