Starfall offers both a free online phonics/reading program and a reading/language arts curriculum (with fee). Once you enter, the website is broken up in to four sections—ABC’s, Learn to Read, It’s Fun to Read, and I’m Reading—with each addressing the different stages of learning development. Starfall provides interactive content that helps the student or child with the basic fundamental of learning to read, phonics, math, and shapes.
This website is easy to navigate through, that a younger child can explore each section with little help. It is fun and interactive. The sound, animation, and songs are engaging. The bright colors make this website visually appealing, especially to the younger children.
Starfall targets children in preschool through 2ndgrade as a supplement to the education received in the classroom or as a key component to learning. This can be used in the home for those seeking for an educational alternative instead of YouTube, video games, and TV. This is perfect for ESL or ELL students as well.
