I started my 4 year old with Starfall and she is now reading on her own, and she is so proud that she can read all 15 beginner books without my help! She wrote her first letter to me, on her own, using her personal dictionary with the correct punctuations and can tell you the verb, noun and descriptive in a sentence.
