Looking for the best way to boost your kids' reading skills?

From matching letters and sounds to enjoying little books, Teach Your Monster to Read is designed in collaboration with leading academics from Roehampton University and will support your child through every step of their reading journey.

Designed to complement phonics programmes used in schools, our fun, friendly and easy to use games are curriculum-aligned and completely FREE to play on laptops and computers. With personalised learning and a targeted Practice Mode, you can monitor children's progress as they enjoy teaching their own monster to read.

All our games are completely FREE to play on computers for everybody via our website!

As a non-profit, this is made possible through the support of the Usborne Foundation and the proceeds we receive from app purchases. Everything we receive goes back into developing and improving our games, supporting parents and teachers, and helping more children learn through play.

Created with literacy experts

All of our products are built out of a deep collaboration between our game designers and leading academics. Teach Your Monster to Read is no exception. We worked closely with Angela Colvert and Alison Kelly, Senior Lecturers in English Education at the University of Roehampton, to ensure that our games were underpinned by research and sound principles, allowing us to put the best possible educational frameworks in place.
