Starfall: A Great Reading Tool (and it's FREE too!)

Hi parents! Can you believe that we're already into the third week of school? I thought that for this week's post, I'd share a wonderful website (or phone/tablet app) with you.  It's called Starfall and it is absolutely FREE.  

We have used this free version for several years now in our computer lab and the students love it! The teachers also love the extra learning that takes place when the students "play"on Starfall.  This program has a wide range of reading activities from ABC's (for Kinder), Learn to Read (for First and Second grades), and It's fun to read and I'm reading (for Second - Fifth grades).  There are also awesome holiday games for kids of every age/grade level.  

The activities that I just suggested are on the left side of the home page. The activities on the right offer a sample of the paid version. Therefore, there are only a few activities that students can actully access. Having used the product in the computer lab for several years, I think that the free version is more than enough. 

If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear from you!  Happy Reading!!
