Students practiced letters and sounds, as well as reading and sight word recognition.

4. Quantitative Data The average DRA level at the beginning
of the year for all students was ~ 3,
excluding those at a very high level.
After recent testing all students have
increased their scores and the average is
now closer to 6.
Although growth is expected throughout the year, it seems
rather impressive that all students have made such
wonderful growth.

10. Conclusions I feel that the time my students spent on
Starfall.com this year was very beneficial.
They were not only able to improved their
computer skills, they were also able to
improve their reading skills and letter/sound
correspondence.
I am very interested to try out other
reading web sites in the upcoming years.
