Starfall
The Starfall Website is a program service of Starfall Education Foundation, a publicly supported nonprofit organization, 501(c)(3). The website opened in September of 2002 as a free public service and social enterprise supported by the Polis-Schutz family. On July 1, 2015, the Polis-Schutz family donated their full interest in Starfall to the Starfall Education Foundation.
Starfall has been teaching children to read with phonics for well over a decade. Our systematic approach, in conjunction with audiovisual interactivity, is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, special education, homeschool, and English language development (ELD, ELL, ESL). Starfall is an educational alternative to other entertainment choices for children.
Our low-cost membership program expands the free content you already enjoy to include delightfully animated songs, mathematics, and reading activities spanning pre-k to 2nd grade. Your child will have fun learning essential reading and math skills through exploration! Your membership fee ensures that we can continue to provide Classic Starfall free of charge and offer low-cost, high-quality, educational resources to classrooms.

What homeschoolers say about Starfall
Homeschoolers generally appreciate Starfall for its engaging, interactive approach to early literacy and math, which is well-suited for preschool and early elementary students. Many praise its user-friendly interface and ability to hold young learners' attention, making it a popular choice for foundational skills. However, some families find the curriculum somewhat limited in scope and depth as children advance, often supplementing with other materials. The subscription cost is considered reasonable by most, though a few mention that the digital format may not fully replace hands-on or more comprehensive curricula.
