We’re now at the point where I’ve asked them not to go onto the starfall audio “library” at all, or only with my permission and in that case we’ll choose the “book” together. Many “dumbed-down” abridged versions of “classic” titles. But the more I heard from this “library” the more I began to cringe. I’m all for my kids having their fun here and there so I tried not to over-think it. Then I became so aware of the lack of thought-provoking content. I kept hearing the short, choppy sentences. Then I saw my 4 yr old and 6 year old going to it over and over. In my opinion MANY of these books are twaddle. He scratches his head while leaves fall from the tree around him. The calendar shows all of the months on a calendar. A spotlight shines on each kid in order of the months.

A bear holds up a sign saying '5 Little Bears.' A boy with a blue shirt counts to five. January, February, March, and April, May, and June, July, and August, September, October, November, December. I must add one additional comment however: subscribing to morestarfall also gives access to the full Starfall Audio books Library section (most titles are blocked out when you try to access the free way). (soft music) Purple curtains with the number 5. But certainly, yes, the younger kids have picked up a lot of math concepts, counting, measuring, weight, etc. I have subscribed to this for two years (maybe a bit more…) DD4 and DD6 have loved the math on this enhanced section (and DD8 and DD10 even have fun playing around a bit once in a while, too…lots of math facts drills on there that are presented in new and different ways). Coming a bit late to this, wings2fly, but just wanted to say ditto to morestarfall being worth the $35.
