Maria Andrews, Foundation Phase Teacher

"This is a fabulous game. I'm not kidding when I say that my daughter essentially learned all her letter sounds using First steps, with relatively minimal input from me! Great for parents to practise their letter sounds too."

## Teach Your Monster to Read Reviews in New Zealand

### ***-- "Emoji 😀"
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🥰🥰🥰🥰😋🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕
-- paurini, 2021-11-03

### ***** "Fun"
This has been available for students on the computer or the families bought the app for other devices. I drew attention to the app during lockdown and it was great for students to review prior knowledge and build on what they know. The feedback from families is very positive. One parent said the only problem is getting her son off it! Another said it was great for her daughter to practise verbalising the sounds as she is shy when speaking.
-- Lights keeper, 2020-05-10

### ***-- "Not for older kids"
Hi! This is a great App - for young readers. This came recommended by a friend (who is a SLT)  to support my sons writing (phonetic awareness) unfortunately, my 8 yr old son has found this far too ‘babyish’ and finds it very frustrating to work/play with. ☹️
-- Kiwimumdon, 2020-04-12

### ***** "Amazing app!"
My four year old loves this and has helped her quickly progress to reading simple sentences, thank you!!
-- rahou8, 2019-03-06

### ***-- "Ok"
Fun app but moves through the letter sounds too quickly, before my son has had a chance to learn them properly. He struggles to complete some of the games as he doesn’t remember most of the sounds. 

It’s also a pity that the sounds are said quietly compared with the voice instructions.
-- hrcbiscjn, 2018-05-18

### *---- "Terrible support for what would be a great game"
Game crashes at the goblin king. Have tried to contact them for 6 months because this app really does help. Shame really
-- Shaetano, 2016-11-18

### ***-- "Fun but..."
Not enough games/levels/etc for how much I paid for it. Hopefully there will be future updates with more activities or more challenging levels or I'm going to be disappointed.
-- Abbybsw, 2014-08-28
