Recommended grades K-3. Starfall is an interactive read-aloud site for emerging readers. Young users can easily access four levels of digital material through the webpage. Much of the material is free to access, though some pages require paid accounts. Books can be read-aloud to users all the way through or by clicking on individual words, an excellent feature for readers trying to practice their own fluency and accuracy. Another great benefit is that stories are broken into specific sounds, so they complement reading instruction in the early grades. This is an excellent resource for teachers working on guided practice and read alouds to build confidence on specific sounds. Recommended, ***
