Starfall™ books, games, movies, and songs follow a research-based method of systematic phonics starting with consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words. Emergent readers gain confidence as they progress to long vowels and other letter-sound relationships such as digraphs.

Reading and writing are closely related. When children write, they focus on the letter-sounds in words and learn phonics. The printouts emphasize consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC words (i.e. cat, pet, dog) and help build confidence for the beginning reader.

At Starfall, children have fun while they learn - specializing in reading, phonics & math - educational games, movies, books, songs, and more for children K-5 and above.

Interactive game for kids to match sight words and improve reading skills.

Starfall's Short Vowels program helps children learn to read with phonics through interactive activities and audiovisual interactivity.
