Dear, whatever you call it creator’s? Now,I’m in 4th grade and all I wish is you add more to the 4th and 5th grade section I feel a 4th grader will still want to design a character too. I sometimes go to the kindergarten section and the 1,2,3 grade section to have fun and design a character but mostly just that, to design a character. I love this game, but as I get older I miss the fun 🤩 besides that this game took over this game ate (a awesome game you made .) oh and also what’s up with the people saying it’s not free you literally just have to sigh up ITS FREE BRO, thank you for hearing what I had to say, I hope you send back.

This app is so amazing. The kids grew up using this app to learn. When they were old enough for school they were acing classes. This app is SO repetitive. And usually apps/games like that are an absolute no go for me. But, this is how you teach kids to learn. Through fun games and songs. The learning to read books are the most repetitive part, they work on the same sounds so that your kid[s] master[s] it before they go on to another activity. If this was here when I was a kid then this is what I’d be using. I’m currently helping my four year old pronounce words correctly and learn more advanced words so that he can read better. He enjoys dancing to the songs. Once his little friend came over and they danced to the songs together. It was amazing to watch. I would recommend this to anyone who has kids. It says up to third grade but I would recommend it to anyone. I used to have a stutter and that could “cure” that. Though, their is nothing wrong with a stutter. I love this app and this truly helped my kids learn. This is a lifesaver. I’ll start my four year old back onto this once he’s off “winter break” (I figured he would think it was rude if his sisters were on winter break but not him.) Thank you for reading my review. I just want the developers to know about my appreciation to this app and how it helped the kiddos.

Starfall is excited to announce the Learn to Read Chapter Books series! Introducing early readers to the structure and experience of reading books with chapters. Each book includes a table of contents and three engaging chapters designed to build comprehension and reading stamina. The series features five books starring beloved Starfall characters, each with its own unique story. The books encourage independent reading and understanding of longer texts with chapters. Individual words can be tapped to hear their pronunciation, supporting developing readers as they build confidence. Find these new books in Grade 1 English, where you can also practice with Build a Silly Sentence and be a detective in Punctuation Investigation (previously found in Grade 2-3 English). Enjoy our winter decorations and dressing up in your winter clothes, too. Stay warm and have fun learning with Starfall!
