My Take
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.
How I Use It
I downloaded the app on my phone, and it was very easy to set up. It was great that the app was free. I had no issues using the app. I would use this app for preschoolers or recommend that preschoolers use this app at home.

Alphabet fun for ELL students!
Starfall ABCs is an excellent app to be used for young students, or ELL students just learning the language. It is a great introduction to letter names and sounds. It also introduces some basic vocabulary with videos, photographs, and songs. I especially appreciate how cues are given to students, to help them move on in the app. A speaking aspect of the app would be beneficial, especially for ELL students. Overall, this is a great tool in my classroom for introduction and practice of alphabet and phonics skills.
