Here's what some teachers are saying:

"[Franklins] allow my students to independently explore their emerging knowledge of English. This has proven to be an ideal aide for use in a writing exercise by promoting independence, and encouraging self-correction for my [ESL] students. …Did I mention how much fun they have exploring language with it?".

Gloria Norton, Sweet Home Central School District, NY

"With a sizable minority population, many to whom English is a second language, it is critical we ensure that our students can perform to expected levels in business and in educational opportunities. Enter the Franklin Language Master! Students loved using Franklins. [They] formed little groups to work together, followed related words through the program (something they will not do using a dictionary), challenged each other using "Hangman" or the thesaurus, and were eager and enthusiastic to do vocabulary study. Their vocabulary quiz scores improved and they had fun doing it".

Elizabeth Ann Carlin, Mainland Senior High School, FL

"Using Franklin electronic books gives my ESL students, at all levels, confidence and quick access to English skills. Students can work independently while group instruction is being done…Even my new arrivals with limited English proficiency, can use the Franklin tools."

Irma Lorenz, Burlington Township Schools, NJ
