Teach Your Monster - Reading For Fun is a free online reading app created by The Usborne Foundation to follow on from the award winning Teach Your Monster to Read series of reading games. The game expands on the established Teach Your Monster universe, and introduces a whole host of colourful new characters and environments as you guide your monster through a magical village with the help of Coco, the friendly bird. Your monster is sent on quests, learns facts and can collect over 70 ebooks to read along the way, whilst helping the villagers ward off the pesky book eating goblin. The game is curriculum-aligned and was designed in collaboration with experts from the UK’s Roehampton University with the aim of further developing kids reading skills and encouraging their enthusiasm for books.
Teach Your Monster to Read - Reading For Fun was produced by the excellent Cambridge based software developers Popleaf.
