Reading Tool: Starfall

 

Starfall is an early learning website including interactives, games, music, and reading and math materials. The reading program on the site is divided into four sections: Learn to Read, which teaches some of the more common sounds through interactive games, books, and videos; It's Fun to Read, which teaches students to read in context; and I'm Reading, which allows students to read short stories, comics, and plays. Students can work through these four sections and move on to additional units as their reading skills improve and mature.

Most of the content is oriented toward pre-K and kindergarten students, although a small collection of activities cover more complex concepts, like grammar, and are suitable for upper grades. There is also a Parent-Teacher Center with printable worksheets, pre-K and kindergarten curriculum, thorough listings of Common Core State Standards alignments, downloadable songs, and other resources for teachers, in addition to these interactives and activities.
