Starfall

Hi! I am going to tell about Starfall. It intends for children to read with phonics ever since. The systematic approach, in conjunction with phonemic awareness practice, is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, special education, homeschool, and English language development (ELD, ELL, ESL) It consists of four section: ABCs, Learn to read, It is fun to read and I am reading. Its methodology motivates children in an atmosphere of imagination and play. The teacher-guided and child-directed nature of our curriculum products ensure English language learners and struggling readers learn alongside their peers. Starfall is supported by the Polis-Schutz family. Stephen Schutz and poet Susan Polis Schutz founded Blue Mountain Arts publishing company and together with their son Jared Polis.The Polis-Schutz family shares a passion for education. Starfall is produced by a dedicated and talented international team of educators, writers, artists, designers, animators, musicians, and programmers led by Brandi Chase. Roger Wilson leads our computer engineering team. Jamison Hill leads our customer service team. Starfall offer to children to read passages and play game. For example, after being teached the allphabets, vocabularies and their pronunciations are vocalized beside visual aids or being made matching letters with incomplete word. Then stories are read with songs and images. This site is advantage for reading and learning accurate pronunciation because it makes learning enjoyful with songs  and images so students don’t bored with learning English. It teaches student make sentences at the same time. Grammer is induced. Only English is used. This is an advantage generally but  it is inadequate in some point; when children cannot understand, there is no native language equivalent. However it is generally useful site for children. It is very amusing and make students love English. I intensely recommend to you.
