App Profile: Starfall I'm Reading

The Starfall® I'm Reading app contains a FREE selection of activities from Starfall.com. This app is the fourth step of Starfall’s free Learn-to-Read sequence and will help your child make the leap from learning to read, to reading to learn.

Starfall I’m Reading develops comprehension and reading fluency in beginning and advancing readers. The stories in this app contain a controlled vocabulary set, using the words most frequently encountered in print. The stories and activities reinforce high-frequency words, also called “sight words,” in sentences rather than in isolation. This ensures the young reader will make a meaningful association with each word and more readily commit it to memory. The stories can be read aloud to model the qualities of fluent reading: intonation, expression, inflection and rate. Users can enable or disable the AutoRead feature. Audio buttons are supplied for fluency when AutoRead is off.

The app includes:

* Plays, Fiction/NonFiction, Comics, Folk Tales, Greek Myths, and Chinese Fables from the Starfall website.
* Controlled vocabulary, using words most frequently encountered in print.
* An AutoRead feature to model fluent reading, which can be disabled once your child is able to read independently.
