It is an impressive database of additional ideas, printable worksheets, downloadable songs, and pre-K and kindergarten curricula. For teachers who are ready to go all in, the Parent-Teacher Center is a must. Teachers can also project the site on an interactive whiteboard to introduce new concepts (letters, letter sounds, phonemes, blending sounds, and more) to the whole class. The It's Fun to Read section, in which students learn about how reading can help them investigate anything that interests them, offers a nice way to tie together different classroom subjects under the overarching theme of reading and literacy. They should pick these up as they go, but, of course, they'll need classroom instruction for things to stick. While there's not much feedback, students can work at their own pace and get exposure to correct answers. Students can work through simple interactives and games that help them practice addition, subtraction, measurement, and more. The earliest readers can explore well-paced videos that introduce each letter and can actively discover letter sounds and usage, while more advanced readers can enjoy the I'm Reading section, with short books on subjects from comics to Greek mythology and Chinese fables.
Students from a variety of learning backgrounds (ELLs, those with language delays, etc.) can use Starfall to explore literacy concepts at their own pace, or to build basic math skills and fluency.
