Its simplicity means that Starfall ABCs is super accessible, but also not particularly in depth or interactive. Other than that, besides repeating the basic formula for introducing each new letter, there's not a whole lot going on - which is actually likely to be just right for most young kids. A separate section nicely highlights some of the variety in vowels, even if it only covers short vowel sounds. There are some cute animations that can be triggered for each word, followed by interactive games (like puzzles and mazes), and chances to see words used in sentences. Kids will hear the sounds of each letter repeated often and be able to both hear and see how each letter is used within words. Starfall ABCs offers a mix of prereading skills and decent task variety that should keep preschoolers engaged. Kids get a great basic introduction to the alphabet with simple songs and fun images. All in all, I would recommend Starfall for students ages 2-6 as I feel that they would find the site fun, interactive and educational. This would prevent students from clicking on games they can't access for free.
STARFALL FOR KIDS FREE
Starfall's website would be more kid friendly if they only displayed options/games that are free on the main page. The options on the right lead to ways to pay for activities beyond the main page. Over the time it has been ranked as high as 4 109 in the world, while most of its traffic comes from USA, where it reached as high as 769 position. I did find that students got frustrated when they would click on the options on the right side of the page. Students are able to navigate the site with little to no adult assistance. Thanks to Starfall my students don't even realize that they are learning, they are having too much fun. Starfall is a fun and easy way for students to have exposure to letters and letter sounds. As the teacher, I loved how the students were asked after each activity how they felt about the game they just completed as this helps them become reflective thinkers. They especially loved creating and printing jack-o-lanterns from the Pick a Pumpkin game. Your annual Starfall membership provides access to all of the educational content.

I also use Starfall as a reinforcement tool for parents to support their children's development at home.

My students use Starfall as an option for computer center. In the face of unspeakable evil, Cassia must confront her own family’s complicated legacy on Eturia and decide once and for all who her real family is.I began using Starfall to help my students identify letters and letter sounds. When the outer realm is threatened by the dangerous Zhang mafia, Cassia, Kane and the rest of the Banshee crew uncover a horrifying conspiracy that endangers the entire universe. Kane knows he will never find someone to replace Cassia–and is certain she returns his feelings–but how can he throw away his own promising future waiting on a queen? Cassia must make alliances, and Kane, the bastard son of a merchant, isn’t a choice that will earn her any friends. But when they arrive on Eturia, Cassia isn’t exactly in need of heroics–she’s claimed her birthright as Eturia’s queen, but has inherited a war-torn planet simmering with rebellion. Meanwhile, Kane and the rest of the crew of the Banshee plan a desperate rescue mission.
Her only solace is that the Banshee crew managed to evade capture, including Kane Arric, her best friend…with occasional benefits. Shackled by bounty hunters, she is violently dragged back to account for her crimes. Now after two years hiding as a ship hand, she is finally returning to her beloved home…but not in the way she imagined. When Princess Cassia Rose fled her home world of Eturia to escape an arranged marriage, she had no idea her sudden departure would spark a war.
