Teach Your Monster to Read

Learn to Read & Phonics Games

View

Millions of children around the world have improved their reading skills by playing Teach Your Monster to Read – an award-winning educational game that is endorsed by the British Government.

What we love: It’s bright and colourful, fun to play and has been developed in collaboration with leading academics. Children create their own monster then take it on an adventure over the course of three games. Each game reinforces key literacy skills such as letter-sound recognition and blending and segmenting.

Your little monster will love this bright, fun phonics app.

Quick tip: There are lots of fun mini-games to be found too. Tap Practice to try them all, then replay your favourites, choosing certain phonics to focus on in each. We particularly like Space Blaster, in which you fire at moving planets to collect your chosen letter or sound.

Meet the creator: Children’s publisher Peter Usborne MBE created The Usborne Foundation, along with his children, as part of a mission to find new and innovative ways to teach youngsters to read. Teach Your Monster to Read was the Foundation’s first project.
