Differentiated Resource

A differentiated resource that I have seen in my classroom that I highly recommend is www.starfall.com. This is a website that contains literacy activities that can be done at home or incorporated into the classroom. This is great for exceptional children because students are able to read using phonics. Starfall has interactive stories on four different levels. The first level is "ABC Lets Get Ready to Read." This level introduces children to the alphabet and the sounds associated with each letter. The second level is "Learn to Read." This level focuses on developing phonic skills. The third level is "It's fun to read." On this level students can play with fun and interactive games that foster their literacy development. The last level is "I'm Reading." On this level children can read low-level books or have the books read to them. In each book the words are highlighted when they are read. Personally, I think that Starfall is a wonderful educational website that teachers and students can use.
