In Teach Your Monster to Read 3: Champion Reader, the monster’s mission is to cast a 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
Teach Your Monster to Read 3: Champion Reader launches on 4th June 2015.

Phonics phones can help students pay attention to the sounds and words they are saying. The phone amplifies the sounds the student says into them and works well for one-to-one work or small group exercises.
This shows you how to make your own DIY phonics phone
This phonics activity can be created using toys or things you find in the home or classroom. Write down the phonemes on a piece of paper that you’d like your child to practise. Ask them to put each object starting with the same phoneme into the corresponding basket.
Take a look on the Imagination Tree website for detailed way to set this activity up:
