HOMESCHOOL - Starfall website - bookmark it!!

http://www.starfall.com/

Bookmark it, favorite it, whatever - just somehow mark it if you homeschool young children. This is an incredible site and FREE! Just go check it out and you will see why I lOVE, luurve, heart it!

If your children can use a mouse, they will be able to navigate this easily on their own. Not only does the site promote great alphabet and reading skills with little interactive online books and games, it has tools to help the children if you are unable to at the moment (such as when you have your hands in raw meat trying to make hamburger patties). Many of the books will help your children sound out words if they click on a word they don't know how to read. Click on the pictures and you may be pleasantly surprised to find that the character will do something animated for you. The variety of books is wonderful - some just fun little stories, some science, seasonal, etc. AND they have musical excerpt areas as well which are cute and well done!

Bottom line - treat yourself and your kids to this website and I think you will be so glad you did!!! :)
