Starfall.com is a website dedicated to helping children learn to read phonetically. There are four main components, ABC's, Learn to Read, It’s Fun to Read, and I'm reading. The ABC section teaches sounds and letter recognition. Learn to Read section you can play games that teach the child to combine or blend sounds. There are also small books and movies that reinforce the sounds and blending. The next section, It’s Fun to Read, incorporates fun ways to read such as tongue twisters. The final section is I'm Reading. This section contains different categories from which the student can choose. Once they have chosen the category such as Fiction and Nonfiction, for example, a list of books will appear. The student may choose the book they wish to read and begin reading. All of the sections were bright and colorful so the children would enjoy them. The pronunciation of the sounds and words were very clear and accurate. I think this website would be good if used as a reinforcement of the material taught in class.
