The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Starfall ABCs is built as a self-directed, single-tap experience for toddlers, making genuine co-play dependent on a parent actively echoing sounds alongside the child rather than any shared in-game goals.
Skills this builds
- Vocalizing phoneme sounds back and forth during repetitive letter chants
- Taking turns tapping on-screen objects to reveal hidden letter animations
- Guessing which vocabulary word will pop out of the letter box next
Try this together
When the letter 'B' screen shows the bouncing basketball, bounce an imaginary ball together every time the audio plays the /b/ sound.
