FINDING LETTERS IN WORDS
The FRANKLIN CHILDREN’S DICTIONARY can help
children find a word even when they are unsure of how it
is spelled. In either the dictionary or thesaurus Word
Entry screens, use to replace one unknown letter in
a word. You can type more than one ? in a word. Use
to help solve crossword puzzles and other word
games.
Suffixes, prefixes and other parts of words can be found-
by using the asterisk (✽) key. Use the asterisk to replace
a series of letters. To type an ✽, hold and press
.
Note: If you type an asterisk (✽) at the beginning of a
word, the LITERACY WORD BANK may take a little
while to find a matching word.
Follow the example below to learn how to use and
✽ when looking up a word.
1. Press to go to the dictionary Word Entry
screen or to go to the thesaurus Word Entry
screen.
2. Type a word using ? to replace one letter and ✽ to
replace two or more letters.
