Effective Literacy
Website #3
Starfall
Starfall is
an online learning tool that is made to strength the basic skills of reading
and math. All over the world many
educators are using this educational website to provide an interactive learning
experience and to encourage the love for reading and math.
Starfall is
broken into four groups; ABCs, Learning to Read, It’s Fun to Read, and I’m
Reading. Each group focuses on a
different stage of learning so that the child continues to get better at the
skills. In the ABC stage it shows the
upper case and lower case letters with a matching picture and repeats the sound
of the letter. Learning to read stage
it has the blending sounds and three letter words and sentences.
The fun to read stage is actually my
favorite because the activities are more engaging and have different activities
and fun animation. Students can still
click on each word and it would be read to them in this stage. The last stage the stories are more difficult
and it is read aloud by each sentence not by each word. This would give the student an example of how
to read in complete sentences.
Starfall not only has reading and math
activities but writing as well. Students
can practice their writing skills and the basics to writing a letter. Starfall
has many activities and games for students who need the extra practice. This website also has a Parent-Teacher Center
that can provides extra resources and activities to engage the child at home or
in school.
