Using Starfall as Part of Your Preschool Curriculum

If you’ve been homeschooling a while, you’re probably already familiar with the Starfall website. If not, here are some tips for integrating the Starfall site into your curriculum.

First, you need to visit Starfall and browse around and see all the fun stuff available. We use Starfall whenever we start a new letter. We work on the letter and then go online and she does the letter on the Starfall program. She loves all the music and interaction that Starfall provides. The best part is that it’s all free. If you have a printer, and if you’re a homeschooler you need a printer, there are plenty of free homeschool printable activities that correspond with the site.

Just visit the download center for alphabet pages, printable books, make a word papers and bunches more. If you plan a weekly curriculum, jump on starfall the night you plan and just print out your activities for the week. It’s also great to use Starfall as a filler activity. For example, if you feel like you’ve achieved nothing one day because the fridge busted, toilet overflowed, your cell phone fell in the dog’s water bowl, etc…let your kid spend some time playing on Starfall. No matter what they do, they are learning something, and the site is easily navigated by little hands. My daughter needs no help whatsoever navigating to different activities. Enjoy!
