Starfall

Starfall is a site that focuses on helping students learn to read.  The website is organized into four categories: ABCs, Learn to Read, It's Fun to Read, and I'm Reading.  There are many games for different age levels within each of those four categories.  Some of the games focus on the sounds letters make and other games focus on developing words.  In the more advanced categories, children can read stories online where there is an option for them to listen to the story if they are struggling.  The best resource that this site provides are the games that help students to hear the different sounds that letters make.  This is an important skill for students of all ages to have, especially when reading.  I would use this website in my classroom for students to work on individually as well as a whole class on the interactive white board.
