What it does
A phonics-led reading programme with interactive books, songs and optional wider subject activities.
Begin with the four reading stages: alphabet work, learning to read, broader reading activities and independent books. Starfall explains the progression in terms of phonics, fluency and comprehension, which gives an adult a clearer starting point than a large unsorted game shelf. Its free reading programme sits alongside membership access to more grade-level activities through fifth grade and maths. Choose the reading stage from the child's current skill, then repeat a short activity before moving ahead.
