Always a favorite educational app

How I Use It

I use the app on both iPads and iPods in my classroom while the children are in independent stations. I did have to spend some time in small groups training them on how to use the app, which parts of it would be appropriate for them based on their current reading level, and what to do if it froze and/or wouldn't load. Taking the time to do this was worth it. The children use the traditional Starfall website on computers in our lab, so this is a great extension of that work time. I've shared the app with parents and have many children using it at home to reinforce skills. My highest level kindergarteners (reading level F and above) do not tend to play this app very often because it really is better for children who are just developing letter and sound recognition.
