How Can I Teach with This Tool?
Use Teach Your Monster: Reading for Fun to help instill positive feelings about reading. Students can navigate a village and complete tasks to unlock different popular books. The game can stand on its own, or pair it with the companion Teach Your Monster to Read games. Encourage your students to try reading themselves before choosing the "read to me" option, which is always there if students need help. Help extend learning by asking students to report on what books they read: which ones they liked, what they were about, and so on. Since Teach Your Monster: Reading for Fun is pretty loose in form, it's a good filler for some downtime and can be accessed at home or at school.
