Macaroni Learns

At age 9, young Stephen Schutz was still struggling to read. What came easily for some children required many more hours of Stephen's work, and he was consistently toward the bottom of his class in reading. Now a PhD in physics and a successful publisher and artist, Dr. Schutz wanted to make sure children in his situation today have a resource that can help. He turned to the Internet and conceived a program that would be available online across the world to all children who are learning to read in English. 

Starfall is all about helping kids learn to read.  They offer your child everything from the ABC basics to Chinese fables and Greek mythology for children who can navigate their way around a book by themselves. Its phonics foundation assists kids learn how to recognize sounds and eventually figure out words on their own! 

You wont mind your little ones spending a little time in front of the computer when they are working their way through a fabulous site like Starfall!
