What a fun book, such a great way for kids to learn vocabulary and word families, and also have a little game of finding the monster.

The rhyming text was not only instructional but fun too! My 5 year old granddaughter who is just learning to read loved it! She thought it was funny that the monster was hiding. The illustrations are bright & eye catching. Definitely recommend!

This was a really clever and dynamic story. It would be a great read-aloud in a classroom working on word families. The illustrations were very cute and vibrant. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read

I loved the rhyming in the story of a friend trying to teach another friend to read, it was fun , shows the love of reading. It sends a great message to people of all ages the fun you can have with reading.

What an absolutely adorable book! The illustrations were perfect and so cute! My little and I both love when books rhyme and this one did it amazingly! I can’t wait for the physical release so we can hold it in our hands!

Creative way to introduce word families to our little ones who are learning to read. This story follows a young friend who is trying to teach her pet monster how to read. When it seems too hard to learn her monster runs and hides. She uses clues from word families as clues to help find him. The rhyming text creates a flowing, story that is easy to follow. Fun illustrations help us to see the words in action. I loved this book. It was a great addition to our homeschool. Making learning fun, I am ahuge fan of any book that makes learning fun. This would be a Great addition to any class room.
Enjoy with your family.

How to Teach Your Monster To Read is a cute book however I was looking for a story which would encourage children to want to read too and I don’t know that this 100% delivered on that.

Loved this book! The story is great and the illustrations are beautiful. The colors really popped. Most important of all my daughter really enjoyed the book.

As many young children struggle with reading, this is a great book for beginning readers. The rhyming lilt of the book gives it a nice light feel. This book provides a nice introduction to reading concepts, such as rhyming words and word families. Words included in word families are emphasized in capital letters within the text. Back matter is also included to give more information about the word families that appear in the book. The illustrations are all brightly colored, bringing warmth and fun to each page further drawing the reader into the story.

This was an adorable story about a little girl who tried a little too hard to teach her monster to read and had to practice patience, kindness, and empathy along the way. This is a great story for little learning to read. The illustrations are engaging and eye catching, and I suspect my students will relate to both the girl and her monster. I’ll be recommending this for our school libraries and to my teacher and parent friends.

This is perfect! My daughter has recently started her reading journey, so I have added a few books to my ipad mini for her to read on kindle when on the go. The cover is so cute and I love the colors / illustrations!

Thank you so much to Capstone And Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

This is such an incredible rescorce for learners of reading, it’s a perfect guide for parents to help them start learning many words and in a shorter time. This book provides so many useful tips and hints, all alining with a very fun story about a girl who loves reading and her run away monster that hates it.

I really enjoyed that every page was interactive for the children reading, they can really learn the words as they are being shown as it’s done in a simplistic but effective way. The use of usually three lettered family words that rhymed or sounded the same was great fun, and each page had some.

The monster was adorable. As was the girl within the story, the story is a really fun read and has a great progression as it goes along. The illustrations are really sweet to look at and captured the story really well.

The back of the book also provides even more opportunities to help teach young readers which I love that even more was included. I highly recommend adding this to use to help teach children reading its done in a simple but very effective way.

What a cute rhyming book! The illustrations are bright and colorful; very eye-catching. This book is a creative and helpful way to teach children about word families. The back has information for parents/caregivers which is important to help reinforce the skill of rhyming children learn from this book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this one! I picked it up with my niece in mind since she’s currently learning how to read—and it was such a hit!

This book is an absolute gem. The story is super cute, and the artwork is colorful and fun, which makes it really engaging for little readers. What I especially loved was how educational it is—word families are woven into the story in such a clever way that it naturally supports early reading skills.

It’s playful, smart, and a great resource for anyone helping a child learn to read. Highly recommend for parents, teachers, or anyone with a little reader in their life!

How to Teach Your Monster to Read - My girls (7 and 4) loved the rhyming and the list of word families on each page. They had a lot of fun guessing the next word and loved the sweet relationship that the little girl had with her monster friend. They also thought the monster was "super cute". This was too “easy” for my 7 yr old but I thought it was what I needed for my 4 yr old who is starting to “read”. Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Concept was great but unfortunately it bogs down and reads more like a textbook instead of a fun reader to help teach reading.

I received an electronic ARC from Capstone through NetGalley.
Jones seamlessly slips word families information into this story of a young girl teaching her monster to read. We see the monster become discouraged and angry when information is shared too quickly. Then the girl sets out to find her friend using various word family words to seek their location. I love the signs blending in with the illustrations. Finally, both are ready to share and learn. Don't miss the word family challenges and other information at the end of the book. Young families will enjoy this book and have fun playing games with words and reading.

I've actually never read a book specifically about word families (rhyming), so this book was definitely refreshing! One of the best choices that was made in the creation of this book was the lists of various word families perfectly placed within each drawing. I loved seeing the connection between the writing and these lists because it definitely helps young readers learn the lesson even better. It's clear that the author knew this and applied it flawlessly to this fun book. Another great thing about this book was the monster best friend. He's so adorable and such a fun character, and I know for certain that kids are going to fall in love with him immediately (they will also likely fall in love with reading just as the monster started to do). Lastly, the story and how the word families was tied into it was awesome and very entertaining. This book is literally perfect all-around - bravo!

Genuinely probably the most helpful children’s book I’ve downloaded for my daughter thus far on NetGalley. The monster being scared to learn to read was so relatable because my daughter seems to be scared of it as well 😅 I loved how this had the reader swapping the letters to help make new words, find the monster and get an overview of word families in the process. Fantastic!

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

What a fun way to learn about word families! A little girl tries to teach her monster how to read but it gets scared and runs away. The girl uses word families to find her friend. Quite the imaginative book.
