Learning Resources

Teach Your Monster to Read 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.

Numbots NumBots is all about every child achieving the “triple win” of understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction, so that they move from counting to calculating.   Please note that Numbots requires a school login which will be given to you in you in September.
