Starfall is a website supported by the Starfall Education Foundation which is a public charity. This website is geared towards students in K-2 since it is focused on learning to read. Most of the content is free on the website so it is very useful to teachers. Depending on the grade teachers can choose between ABC's, Learn to Read, It's Fun to Read, and I'm Reading. In the I'm Reading section students can choose between various genres such as comics and poetry. This website is helpful for young readers because they have the option to have the words read aloud to them. As the website reads the story the words are highlighted to help the children follow along. Another part of this site that I liked was the animation effects included in some of the stories.
I think this is a really great website for teachers to use in their K-2 classrooms. It is child friendly and easy to use. I would definitely bookmark this on the iPads or computers that students in my class use.
