![]() ![]() I’ve been impressed by what she’s tried, and what games she’s managed to play just by guessing.įor example, I watched her play a matching game for sums of 10. This is something my older girls learned in Grade 1. Jade (doing Kindergarten this year) hasn’t done much adding yet, but just by guessing, she completed most of the game. #STARFALL FOR KIDS PLUS#Īnd as the app repeats, “Five plus five is ten,” she’s learning that. Right now, it’s just matching for her later, it will be a useful math skill. I’ve been working on letter recognition with Jade for the past year. I was happy to see several of her favourite Starfall games involved this skill, along with matching the right letter to the right word. She also likes the catchy math and phonics songs.Įven Pearl (age two) has been singing her alphabet along with the app. ![]() I love the fact that Starfall offers a variety of play based preschool learning activities for her. She can explore a ton of different activities within the app with just the tap or swipe of a finger. Having an educational app for preschoolers has let me take our learning on the go. On Tuesday afternoons, Sunshine and Lily have music lessons, which Pearl usually sleeps through. This is a good chance for Jade to do Kindergarten with the tablet. Starfall does require an Internet connection, so I create a hotspot for the tablet using my phone. If Joey is napping too, I can suggest games for Jade, based on what I know she needs to practice (instead of what’s easiest for her). I also give her hints for the games that are a bit too hard for her, so she’s learning from them. In the sums of 10 game, I encouraged her to slow down and think about the answers, because she knew them, instead of just guessing until she got it right.Īt home, Starfall helps Jade keep learning even when I’m busy with her baby brother or big sisters. Sometimes I feel guilty that I’m not coming up with alphabet activities for Jade like I did for Sunshine and Lily. Joey has been a pretty good baby, but he’s also had fussy moments or just needs my attention with diaper changes and feeds. That makes it hard to sit down with Jade every day to do an educational activity. With Starfall’s Kindergarten curriculum, she’ll be ready to jump into Grade 1 next year. Starfall has been teaching children to read with phonics for over a decade. Their systematic approach and audiovisual interaction is perfect for preschool through second grade, special education, and homeschool. ![]() Starfall is an educational alternative to other entertainment choices for children. ![]()
