Getting Started with Starfall
Starfall’s intuitive learning environment encourages children to explore letters and sounds, word recognition, reading comprehension and fluency. Developed under the guidance of professional educators, our phonics-based learn-to-read activities encourage free exploration and play within a sequentially organized framework. We also offer fun mathematics and music activities. Here’s how to make Starfall work for you.
Begin with the ABCs
Encourage children to play and explore by clicking on any letter in any order. They will come to recognize the relationship between speech sounds and letter forms. This is the "Alphabetic Principle," the foundation of phonics.
Available on your desktop browser and in our FREE ABCs mobile app.
You're Ready to Learn to Read
Each numbered row features a vowel sound. Students listen to, manipulate, read, and master each vowel by interacting with the associated book and games.

Explore It's Fun to Read
With a basic understanding of the Alphabetic Principle, children are ready to expand their reading vocabulary and comprehension while exploring a variety of genres and topics: classical music, fine art, poetry, and more!

No doubt about it, I'm Reading
The plays, folk tales, informational texts, myths, and fables transition children from learning to read to reading to learn. These vocabulary-controlled stories ensure meaningful practice reading high-frequency words (also called sight-words).
