SPELLMASTER
1
Congratulations! You nowowna powerfulandportablespell-
ing unit that can be used at home or in school. It can be an
extremely valuable tool for improving a child's vocabulary
skills. With your Spellmaster you can do all of the following:
• correct misspellings,
• find the page number reference of the printed Oxford
Children's Dictionary for more information,
• make your own word list,
• play fun, educational word games with the main
dictionary or your personal word list,
• use the Crossword Match Key (?) to find missing
letters, &
• use the WILDCARD key to find prefixes and/or
suffixes.
The Spellmaster comes with two sets of instructions: one
for you, the parent/teacher, and one for the child. The
children's guide is less detailed than the adult's so the child
can learn the basics of the Spellmaster quickly. If they have
an interest in the more detailed aspects of the Spellmaster,
youcanreview thisguidewiththemor reviewtheguideyour-
self then show them the function of the Spellmaster in which
they are interested.

The Queen's English Elementary Spellmaster contains a
26,854 word list based on The Oxford Children's Dictio-
nary. The Spellmaster first verifies whether the word you
typed in is spelled correctly. It takes phonetic mistakes,
transposing of letters, and missing letters into account and
comes up with a list of possible matches.

PAGE Key
After spelling a word with your Spellmaster, you may want
to look it up in the dictionary. The printed Oxford
Children's Dictionary (OCD) is a good source for defini-
tions, word endings and word building information, usage
notes, and colour pictures.Try this example.
1. Type "tree".
2. Press PAGE.
This screen shows the number of pages on which the
information about the word "tree" appears in the OCD.
(If a screen says "Page 1 of 2" it means the word you
chose is found on more than one page in the OCD. Try
the word "bore".)
This screen shows what page the word "tree" appears
on in the OCD. You can turn to page 345 in the book to
see more information about the word "tree". (If a
screen has a hyphen after the page number it means
the information about your word stretches over more
than the one page. Try the word "boss".)

accents for you.Try this example.
1. Type "cafe".
2. Press ENTER.
Spellmaster adds an accent to form the word "café".
3. Press CLEAR when done.
Contractions
Spellmaster also allows you to check the spelling of
contractions. It will convert words to contractions for you,
but if you want to type the apostrophe yourself here's how.
1. Type "don".
2. Press .
Look for the green apostrophe beside on the unit.
3. Type "t".
4. Press ENTER.
You have now spelled "don't" correctly.
