Starfall is a nonprofit organization that offers free and low-cost resources for children. The games and resources provided are aimed to help children learn to read through exploration. They offer different activities for Language Arts, Reading, Music, and Math. You do not need an account to access most of these features. The resources and games provided are targeted for preschool through third grade. Starfall puts an emphasis on phonemic awareness, systematic sequential phonics, and common sight words in conjunction with audiovisual interactivity has proven effective in teaching emergent readers. Starfall’s activities are also aligned to Common Core State Standards.
The games provided are quite engaging. I played a Parts of Speech game designed for 2nd and 3rd Grade students. I feel like students will enjoy playing it and it will serve as a good refresher for students.
I also think students will enjoy using this website at home. I would recommend this website to colleagues and parents because it provides free resources.
