Read magical spell books and help your monster on its journey

In Teach Your Monster to Read 3: Champion Reader, the monster’s mission is to a cast magical spell to banish the Goblin Prince and rescue Jessica’s friends from the blocks of ice they’re trapped in.

The monster must find the Goblin Prince then creep past his lair and grab the spell book from under his nose. Tiptoe, tiptoe… snatch!

Once the monster has the spell book, its mission is to complete the sentences within the book and read them out loud. This will send the Goblin Prince away from the planet and out into the universe once more.

This spell book mini-game engages the children in purposeful, fun reading and they are getting practice in reading sentences.

Cross the chasm by reading or spelling the word correctly.

In this new Teach Your Monster to Read mini game, Stepping Stones, the monster must jump across the turtles to get to the other side.

Hear a word and then choose the right letters on the turtles’ backs to make the word.

Read a word and choose the right sounds on the turtles to blend its sounds together.

Be careful, if the monster gets the word wrong, it goes back to the other side.

This game helps children to rehearse blending and segmenting of individual words. It also helps children read and spell words that have split digraphs in them.

Super Jump – a new mini game in Teach Your Monster to Read 3: Champion Reader

The monster is on its quest to find the Goblin Prince and is exploring the new planets.

It comes across a yellow trampoline. Of course the monster cannot resist having a jump around, but on its first jump, it shoots off into another dimension.

The monster now finds itself flying through the sky in a meteor shower. Watch out!

The monster must now find the right letter sounds on the meteors to make the word and get to the next part of the game.

It’s not as easy as it sounds. Good luck monsters!

This game helps rehearse segmenting using a target grapheme.

Teach Your Monster to Read and defeat the evil Goblin Prince!

The monster has found itself in a galaxy ruled by a horrible Goblin Prince. The Goblin Prince is round and green. He wears armour and comes complete with a villainous cackle.

The monster’s mission (should it choose to accept it) is to banish the Goblin Prince from the galaxy and prevent him causing more trouble in the universe.

Helped by his friend Jessica, the monster must work through all the reading challenges on the planet, collect stars and read the spell book to banish the Goblin Prince once and for all.

Just watch out for the Goblin’s henchmen. They look tough, but they are really scaredy-cats!

Defeat the dragon in Champion Reader!

The dragon is a funny and fiery new addition to Teach Your Monster to Read. He’s blue and scaly and rocks back and forth on a spring! Watch out, though, because he breathes out fiery words which the monster must read and understand.

In order to defeat the dragon the monsters must find the correct sound in the words.

This is a great game for rehearsing the different ways of spelling the phonemes (sounds). For example, the dragon breathes out the words ‘burger’ and ‘bird’ and the monster must identify the same sound in each e.g. /ur/ and /ir/. If he doesn’t get the sound right then the dragon breathes out a new word with the sound again.

New game launches this June!

Ms Jangle and Ms Jumble are new characters in the Teach Your Monster to Read series, launching this June, and they are ready to offer fresh reading challenges to our eager monsters.

They are the slightly clumsy and dotty caretakers of the planets and are very forgetful – they are always losing their sounds!

The monster must find these sounds (which are written on their marbles) and make sure they give the right ones to the right person. If Ms Jumble and Ms Jangle receive the correct sound, then they lift off their top hats and gobble down the sound. Slllluuuurrrp!!!

This game is a fantastic way of introducing children to the new spellings for the letter-sounds. At this stage, children will already know that the phoneme /ai/ can be spelled ‘ai’. Now they will learn that it can also be spelled ‘ay’, ‘eigh’ (as in ‘eight’) and ‘ey’ (as in ‘they’).

This game also helps with their understanding of alternative pronunciations of letters, such as /i/ as in ‘fin’ and /i/ as in ‘find’.
