Starfall is a children's website that teaches basic English reading and writing skills.
Methods used by the website are based on the research of G. Reid Lyon from the National Institutes of Health and Edward J. Kame'enui from the University of Oregon.
[2][1] Starfall arose from Blue Mountain Arts, a publishing house in Boulder, Colorado founded by Stephen Schutz.
[2] Stephen Schutz had trouble reading books when he was 9 years old, so he decided to help young readers by creating this website.
[1] In 2006, Starfall launched Pumarosa, which helps Spanish speakers learn English.
