Gabi is learning to read. She is doing very well but still intimidated by reading books from the library. We have 3 sets of the Now I'm Reading program, Level 1,2 & 3. She has finished level 1 and can read all 20 books that came with that set. We are now working on set #2. Usually after set 2 you can start trying out some early readers from the library. In the mean time I wanted something fun for her to use to practice letter sounds and putting letters together to form words. I found a great online game that is FREE for kids called Teach Your Monster to Read. Gabi loves it! You get to create your own monster and as you move on through the game if you are getting things right your monster gets fun accessories like hats, glasses, belts, etc... They recently came out with a 2nd game that helps the child with blending and sentences and adds more words than game 1. I also like that you create an account or yourself and your child and through the parents account you can see how well your child is doing. It will show you which letters they know and which they need help with. We like that Teach Your Monster to Read is helping us Teach OUR Monster to Read :D
