Evidence Rating
There is very limited evidence that teaching your monster has positive effects on children's reading and numeracy skills. While the resource is created with researchers, the current evidence, which is anecdotal case studies, suggests that the intervention is acceptable to teachers, but we have found no evidence of its evaluation within the school setting,
