Reading & Comprehension

Reading comprehension is our ability to make sense of collective letters that form individual words, allowing us to understand their meaning and context within a passage of text. Word knowledge, or our vocabulary, helps us to do this. By knowing what each word means is of course important to understand what a piece of writing is trying to tell us. The more words we know, the more chance we have of understanding what we read. Simply getting stuck into as many books as possible helps improve reading comprehension, as well as using sight words flash cards and activities such as 'Zingo word builder'.

OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Anna

Amazing quality!

We purchased the Harkla sensory swing for my daughter. It’s such wonderful quality. The material is so soft and it was easy to install. Thanks Starfish for another great product. All the kids love this one.

Shannon M

Brilliant store for sensory needs!

I have been shopping here for years and have not once been disappointed. Brilliant stock, friendly staff and such quick delivery.

Kerry F

Great variety in store!

Was very surprised with the variety in store compared to other companies. Lots of goodies to choose from and will definitely be a returning customer.

Jenny S

Just what we needed then and now!

Having been a teacher, I always browsed and purchased educational products from the previous shop in Kiama.

Now, as a grandparent I continue to love to visit your expanded business. I am keen to view new toys or regulation products to support my grandchildren’s needs. I have always found your staff knowledgeable,...

NO.1 FAN FOR LIFE!

We came to Starfish for quality sensory and educational resources, we definitely got that! But we found something even better. An incredible team of happy, caring and supportive people who make us feel like family. They go above and beyond for each and every customer. I have to say their products, advice and support improve our...

My son loves his Connetix bought from Starfish. The Connectix helps him with his imagination and hand eye co-ordination.

Jo R

I love using your products with my NDIS client. I especially find the Coko Alphabet Bricks easy to use and so helpful in promoting literacy learning skills with my client. They also double up as a great playtime activity with my 7 year old granddaughter where we see how many words we can make out of a select few...

Jessica P

Sending a big thank you to the lovely team at Starfish store. I’m located in Melbourne and the lady I spoke to on the phone was more then happy to give her advice regarding noise canceling ear muffs. My 2 year old son, who has sensory issues, couldn’t be more happier! They have given him such comfort in overwhelming...

Sharon P

My daughter is a sensory seeker and seeks oral feedback and stimulation, we’ve purchased the Ark Z Vibe Grabber and instantly my daughter was getting the input she was seeking. The staff at Starfish are extremely helpful and the prompt service and delivery is always appreciated.

Annette A

We purchased the Lycra swing from Starfish. It’s great quality (thick Lycra), stretchy yet firm, and has enough material for the kids to wrap around themselves. It also takes a lot of weight so can be used for years to come. Definitely great value for money.

Aimee L

My 5 year old nonverbal ASD was overstimulated, we tried our usual deep pressure cuddles and reassurance however it wasn't working. We decided to give the turtle a go, and he loves it he listened to the waves and quickly calmed to the blue wave over our roof within a minute. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I write this...

Kelly D

Absolutely love the Whoozit Water Mat. We got it today and Liam, who doesn’t normally like water, played with it for over half an hour with a huge smile.

Cara

We played with the Connetix tiles all afternoon with no TV on (big plus in our house). The best part about it was, I am not the best at actively playing with her and I actually played with her for a decent hour or two because I find them so fascinating! Win win!

Kirsty B

Make N Break has been so much fun! It's a great challenge for our kindy and year 5 daughters, and also us parents. Thanks Starfish!

Leah K

I received my LCD writing tablet and I am thrilled. So far it’s been invaluable next to my computer to write things down if needed without wasting or looking for paper. I will take it in my bag wherever I go! Thanks so much Starfish!
