Starfall Math - Anyone subscribed to "More Starfall?"

[Catherine12]

I noticed that Starfall.com now offers additional materials, available if you pay a subscription fee, at more.starfall.com. Has anyone done this? What did you think? My kids love Starfall (though the oldest is getting a bit beyond it). Is it worth the $35/year?

I subscribed to it when it first came out, because my DD too was getting a little to old and she needed more -- but other websites just can't compare to starfall! We really do like it a lot. It has a lot more extra areas and it was designed to go along with their K program they designed, so it is suited toward K year or if your DC is just learning to read.

Some things that are new are some motion songs (encourages them to dance and move), math songs, section on just vowels, Back Pack Bear section with making short sentences and reading books, color section on recognizing the color 'word', and a music player that plays a lot of the songs the kids have been listening to throughout starfall (we like the zig zag song). Also they do have a worksheet creation area and some other downloads that go with their K program. They also have their K curriculum for free to download for home use, its good for ideas!

They have all their free content linked from the more.starfall section so you won't have to flip back and forth, so if you let your DC just click around, all the content is avilable from one page.

You should have put a warning not to check out the site with little ones in the room dd is in love and kept wanting me to play the freebies over and over and over and over...
