Occasionally we post links to our favourite phonics and teaching activities by talented teachers and parents around the web. If you have any other successful games and resources you’ve made for your students and children then please do send a link. We’d love to see what works for you!

The Imagination Tree blog have a fantastic phonics activity which complements Teach Your Monster to Read with its spaceships and rockets! Create new spacecraft for your monsters and practise blending at the same time.

For full details on how to make this game go to the The Imagination Tree blog.

Monster tip: Make sure the child rehearses blending all through the word. You can also adapt this game for longer words too!
