Starfall is an interactive online teaching tool for youngsters. It teaches phonics, alphabet, and sight words. The graphics are good, as far as animation and music. It is accessible by students and therefore easy to navigate. The colors used are bright and grab attention. When navigating through the alphabet, the letters are set up like the wooden ABC blocks. Familiar pictures help with prior knowledge when looking at what to click. The letters glitter or an arrow will move to show students where and when to click.
