Starfall is a fun phonics and reading website that is great to use with kindergarteners. They can practice sounding out certain letters and sounds, as well as work on reading skills. There are a variety of things for students to read, such as short stories, tongue-twisters, and poetry. This tutorial is for parents to learn how to navigate Starfall so that their child can get more practice, or just read for fun at home.

Great guide for parents. Nicely paced and well planned. You moved through the site very cleanly and knew what you wanted to say.
Thank you for this post! This seems like a great resource to get kid started with reading. Additionally, you spoke very clearly – easy to follow and listen to. Thank you!

This is such an awesome app that would be a great resource if you are teaching the younger grades like you said with kindergartners especially. This is a good resource because parents could use it at home with their child but also students could use it during independent work time for extra practice and reinforcement. Thanks for introducing this to me! Also very nice clear presentation and explanation of the app.
I have been in a class that uses starfall as a reward for students and they love to be on it. I think it is great that you introduced it to parents as well because they don’t always know what is being used in class and what might be helpful for their student. Nice job
