			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently my 3 year old has been begging to get on the computer. While we have Reader Rabbit Toddler for him, one of his absolute favorite things to do is play on <a href="http://starfall.com">Starfall.com</a>. This site is really quite impressive. We&#8217;ve only delved into the ABC section, but I think it is worth a mention as a learning resource for homeschoolers.</p>
<p>There are several levels that go from learning letters and vocabulary right up to actual reading. The alphabet section is what I&#8217;m most familiar with and I have to say, the layout is quite impressive!</p>
<p>There is a block for each letter, as well as a section for learning sign language and alphabet songs, as well as the vowels, which offer extra learning.</p>
<p>When you click on a letter, it appears on the screen in a creative manner . . . for example, the letter T is dropped off by a train. You can then click on the letter to hear the sound and move to the next screen. Each letter has four or five screens, each with something fun. The child has to click on the letter on each screen to start the music, animations or game that is featured. It is very well thought out.</p>
<p>My son has been learning all sorts of things, reinforcing letters he was iffy on and learning songs to remember the letter sounds.</p>
<p>The price for all this learning fun? Completely free! So there&#8217;s no reason not to <a href="http://starfall.com">check it out</a>. I suspect the other levels are just as well done, though we haven&#8217;t checked them out yet.</p>
