What is a game stage?

Two of our games have different stages (or levels) of difficulty that can be set through your Teach Your Monster account. Stages can be set for individual players, players within a group or for all players.

Which games allow you to change a player’s game stage?

Currently, stages can be set for two of our games; Teach Your Monster to Read and Teach Your Monster Number Skills.

Why change a player’s game stage?

Every player has different levels of ability and confidence. As your child or class progresses through Teach Your Monster to Read or Teach Your Monster Number Skills, you may wish to adjust their game stage to better suit their current abilities.
