My Take

I thought that this would be a great and mobile extension of the Starfall website; however, I was mistaken. Despite paying for the app, the content that is available on the website is much more engaging to students. With the website, I can also see what they are working on and specifiy different phonics and skills that are unavailable on the mobile app. I would much rather utilize the starfall website instead of purchasing the mobile app.

How I Use It

I used this app with two students that are well below grade level in letter and sound recognition. They were able to review needed sounds; however, the material was repetitive and uninteresting to the students. They became bored quickly with the app and requested the website instead.

Cute app for younger kids

I thought this app was useful and preschoolers could learn letters using this app. I liked how the app showed visuals for each letter and presented the sound as well. The repetitiveness of it would work for preschoolers but I think would not be engaging for any age group over that. I do think it would help younger kids learn the letters and sounds the letters make especially in a post pandemic world where some parents still choose to keep their children out of preschools.
