Teach Your Monster to Read Reviews

Such an awesome literacy app!

I LOVE this game! I'm a special educator, and I use it for my kindergarten students with autism and possibly dyslexia as well as students without disabilities. This game is so great about starting towards the beginning of literacy and correcting misunderstandings right away. It's highly motivating and my kids LOVE it! I love that it's free online, so my students can access it at home as well.

Great tool for beginning readers

I've used this app with 2 kids and they both love it - even though one can read now, she still finds it fun and it's a great review tool for her. Thank you for making a fun, educational tool for kids!

Effective and fun!

When my 4 year old daughter began using this game she loved it and didn't want to put it down. When she started she knew all the letters of her alphabet and many sounds. Within the first two months she was reading simple words (CVC). By the fourth month she was reading simple sentences. By 9 months she had completed finished all three levels of the game and could read proficiently at a 2nd grade level (about 550 lexile). I combined this game with Usborne Books & More's Very First Reading Set, which progresses using the same sounds/words as each part of the game. The only downsides of this game are: as an American some of our pronunciations are different than how they are taught in the game (just a few words, but I enjoy hearing the accents of the narrator and characters), and single sounds/parts of the game cannot be focused on for further practice; the entire level has to be repeated. With my daughter I made up flash cards to practice her sounds and tricky words, but being able to select a letter/letter combination/word to repeat would be a nice feature. Overall, though, I give this game 5 stars for being FUN and very EFFECTIVE. I recommend this to everybody!

Love this app

My youngest started using this app at three at become a strong reader by four! Wish I would have known about this program with my first five!!

Absolutely wonderful!

I use both the online and app versions with my first graders. It is the hands down favorite. Even if we have recently played in the lab, the children will choose this app on the iPad. Many also choose to play at home. I think it does a great job of helping children learn to read!

4yr old loves this app!

My 4 yr old cannot get enough of this app... and I don't feel bad letting him "play" since he is learning so much.

Fabulous program and app!

I'm an SLP who helps children with reading difficulties. I have recommended this wonderful program to many families. The kids love it! Only thing to be aware of for those in the US is that the program does use British pronunciations for some sounds as the program is from the UK. I love the mini games and the reiteration and repetition for sounds and words used, Fabulous program! Be sure to also check out the website version of the game.

Love it!

This app is amazing! Both my 6 year old and 3 year old enjoy playing it and it really does help them with their letter sounds and reading skills. Worth every penny! Sometimes my 3 year old has difficulty figuring out what he is supposed to do, but the 6 year old will help him. I recommend this to everyone who is trying to help a child learn to read, especially for reluctant readers.

Fantastic!

Teach your monster to read is a great, fun way to enhance your child's journey to reading! Kids are very engaged as they work from practicing single sounds to building words and then sentences. I use it with my kindergarten class - it allows kids to work at their own pace and repeat practice as much as possible ?????

Kids love it!
