Bruce got one of these for his sixth birthday and it is really cool!  He can use it as a dictionary when writing, or he can use it to play spelling games.  There is even a feature where you can type in a spelling list, and then practice just those words.  That will come in useful next year in first grade.  I heard that the GATE program has the kids learn 22 new words each week.  Yikes!
