Starfall

Starfall is an educational website for grades Pre-K through 3rd that can be used to help with reading and math. The website focuses more on reading. According to the site, Starfall's founder, Stephen Schutz, struggled learning how to read throughout his childhood and because of that he was inspired to create a place to help children like his past self learn how. Starfall has been around since 2002 and in 2012 started providing its activities through apps on phones and other electronics. The concept of Starfall was to create an environment "Where Children Have Fun Learning To Read".

The website offers interactive games and online books to help kids strengthen their reading. Students can read and listen to books, practice phonics, and build sentences through the site. Math games are also available on the site as additional math practice. Starfall gives parents and teachers the option of purchasing a membership to unlock different resources. Teachers are given the option of purchasing a membership that allows them to use it in the classroom with their students. Overall, Starfall is a great option for any kid learning how to read or is struggling with reading.
