Teach Your Monster is an engaging educational website that helps young children develop literacy, math, and healthy eating habits through interactive games. It features Teach Your Monster to Read (covering phonics, letter recognition, word blending, and early reading comprehension), Teach Your Monster Reading for Fun (encouraging independent reading through a story-rich adventure where players explore a magical island and complete book-themed quests), Teach Your Monster Number Skills (focused on counting, number recognition, and basic math concepts), and Teach Your Monster Adventurous Eating (promoting healthy eating habits through fun challenges). Designed by educators, the platform aligns with early learning curriculums and provides teachers with tools to track student progress. It's free to use on computers, though the app requires a purchase, making it a valuable supplement for classroom instruction.

In the Classroom

Assign each student a notebook where they write down new words they encounter in the game. They could also make a digital notebook using WriteReader reviewed here. Create a small reading corner or station where partners can practice blending sounds and decoding words. Pair students and have them take turns reading words or sentences aloud that they learn through the game.
