The adult reads the main narrative whilst the child is encouraged to read the monsters' language in speech bubbles. These 'non words' help them practise their emerging phonics skills at a level that is right for them.
Brought to life by award-winning author Peter Bently and Duncan Beedie's comic book style, each story stars one of the monsters cast in a leading role. This series creates a valuable shared reading experience and will inspire any child to become a monster reader!
