Starfall's founder Stephen Schutz struggled to read as a child. As an adult he was naturally motivated to create a resource to help children like himself. He created an online environment "Where Children Have Fun Learning to Read™." The website is offered to the public completely free. Bright colors and fun games will keep your child engaged.

At the Harry Potter At Home hub you’ll find all the latest magical treats to keep your child occupied - including special contributions from Bloomsbury and Scholastic, nifty magical craft videos , fun articles, quizzes, puzzles and plenty more for first-time readers, as well as those already familiar with the wizarding world. Also videos of the chapters being read by loved names of global entertainment, music and sport lending their voices to reading the first Harry Potter book. They are casting a Banishing Charm on boredom!

The game takes children on a magical journey, meeting colorful characters along the way and collecting fantastic rewards. When children are engaged, they’re motivated to learn.

As they progress, they rehearse a range of essential reading skills; matching letters to sounds, blending, segmenting, tricky words and reading full sentences.
