Why Teach Your Monster Number Skills is Useful
Just like the other two Teach your monster resources that Usborne has made, there is considerable thought been put into its creation. As a teacher so often games like these are too quick to progress and number skills like reading skills take both time and practice to lead,
That’s why these guys do best. They progress at a students friendly pace, and perhaps equally importantly they do so in a way that engages children’s and students so they want to play more. In fact with most of their games i have to stop the children playing, not encourage them to do so!
This will be the same with Teach Your Monster Number skills. It follows a similar theme to the others, and that is a tried and tested way to keep children learning or as we describe it using gamification for good!
