The Teach Your Monster story
Usborne Publishing is an independent, family-run business which has been sparking children’s curiosity and love of reading around the world since 1973. In 2011, company founder Peter Usborne CBE, along with his daughter Nicola and son Martin established the Usborne Foundation with the aim of developing creative and innovative responses to the biggest challenges facing early years education.
The start of this journey was the creation of Teach Your Monster to Read, a game that would come to help over 30 million children on the first crucial steps of their reading journey. Since launch it has been played over 300 million times, helps two million children learn to read every month and received BAFTA nominations in 2013 and 2015.
In 2021 we changed our name to Teach Your Monster to represent our growing family of games. We are now helping children tackle a diverse range of learning challenges in new and exciting ways, from numeracy to nutrition.
As an organisation we are proud of our methodology which puts children at the center of the creative process. Our creative teams are given support to become experts in the chosen field working in close collaboration with expert educational advisors. Player testing in classrooms is built into the process from the very start.
All this comes together in beautifully crafted stories, compelling characters and engaging game play as we create learning adventures that kids will come want to come back to play again and again.
Who do we work with?
We take the process of making our games and creating our monsters very seriously. We bring together world-leading education experts working to work in close collaboration with highly creative talent from diverse backgrounds — game developers, animators, designers, authors and musicians.
Our long-standing relationship with Roehampton University has helped us understand early years literacy and are expanding to work with other academic partners as we build into new areas of learning.
Join the Monsters
We are always looking for great people to collaborate with as we build and develop our games. We operate an ongoing recruitment process to help us find new talent and diversify our teams. You can find out more about this on our openings page.

5 simple games that will teach a child to read with pleasure
“I don't know what to do! My child doesn't want to learn to read!" many mothers complain.
Of course he doesn't! No one will be happy if they are forced to do something boring day after day: “Look, this is the letter “A”. Repeat! Ah-ah-ah-ah! And this is the letter "B". What letter is this?..” As a result, everyone is unhappy: the child who is waiting for all this to end, and the mother who laments, well, why doesn’t anything work out as it should! But in order to teach a child to read with pleasure, you need to show that this process can be creative, very exciting and fun. How to do it? Says the creative mother of two daughters, blogger Natalia Igonina.
Natalia Igonina and her daughters Veronica and Valeria
The life of a small child is an amazing country full of discoveries and magic. In order not to ruin his desire to explore the world and learn something new, try to turn even the most boring activity into an exciting game. Those that I offer will not require any expensive materials and a lot of time. All you need is a creative mood and a desire to share your knowledge with a child.
Try to do it with love.
Reading in capital letters
To make it interesting for your child to get acquainted with new letters, make a stencil for tactile-visual memorization together with him. On a sheet of A4 paper, draw a large letter that you are going to study. There are several options for how to play with such a stencil: you can lay out the surface of the letter with pebbles, shells, candies; paint the letter with a brush or fingers; make plasticine patches; roll massage balls along the contour of the letter or draw it on colored sand or semolina. Start learning to read by getting to know the vowels, and then enter one consonant letter at a time and substitute it with the vowels to form the syllables "AM", "EM", "OH", "BA", "BE", "BI" and so on . Take your time, spend one day studying one letter.
Making our own reading simulator
So, we learned all the letters, learned how to add syllables from them. Now let's show the child how to read by syllables.
To do this, we need to make a compact simulator. It is not only mobile, but also universal, because with its help you can work out both open syllables (“MA”, “BA”) and closed ones (“AM”, “Hedgehog”). Take transparent caps from sour cream: 5 caps for consonants and 3 caps for vowels. There are 4 letters on each cover. Give the child the "consonant" and "vowel" parts of the simulator and show what happens if you combine them.
Reading by caps
When the child has mastered syllabic reading, offer him to read short words consisting of three letters. To make such activities interesting, make homemade cards that will help keep your child’s interest for a long time. On a piece of paper, write the syllables "KO", "RA", "VO", "LA", "LE", as well as letter combinations with "windows", for example, Z_L, K_T, R_T, D_M. We will also need white lids from gouache or plastic bottles. Write the letters A, O, Y, K, L, W, Z, T on them with a permanent marker. Invite the child to substitute the caps for the syllables on a piece of paper and fill in the empty “windows” with them.
What words did he get?
Learn to Speed Read
To learn how to read fluently, you can play two exciting games that your child will definitely like.
Half word
Cut out some cards from paper. On each of them write words of different lengths and read them together with your child. Now cut each word in half and shuffle all the halves. Ask the child to take any half of the card and understand what the word is written on it. When the child understands the algorithm, feel free to switch to books. Take a ruler or paper strip and cover half of the word or sentence in the text with it. Invite them to read "at the top" of the words, and then at the bottom halves of the sentences. It is very exciting!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lost Letters
Take a paper strip and cover the end of the words in the book with it and ask the child to read them in full. When the baby has mastered this exercise, you can complicate the task a little and close the letters in the middle of the word.
