My Take
For a free site, it's great. It is has basic phonics, but you can also just let them play and create personalized pumpkins. It will keep small people engaged for a class period, but not much more; they figure out eventually that they are learning.
How I Use It
This is the site for early readers, but I also send my new to this country students here too. It starts with the alphabet and words that begin with those letters, and goes up to reading simple stories. I actually keep this site on the screen on Parent Teacher night to keep the little brother and sisters occupied while I talk to the parents of my students. It's adorable.

Starfall Continues to Educate
Starfall is an excellent addition to any classroom K-2. It is easy to use, the children quickly learn to navigate the app without help from the teacher, it provides leveled activities in reading and math that the children want to repeat over and over. Highly recommend this program.
