This month, we are adding our comic ‘Bongo Blows His Top’ to our game Reading for Fun. ‘Bongo Blows His Top’ is a story about BIG feelings and how to manage them. Created under the advisement of Angharad Rudkin, a Child Clinical Psychologist, this comic explores the feelings you get when experiencing anger, helping children identify their own feelings and sharing strategies to help deal with those tricky feelings. 

As well as all the more practical elements, having comics in Reading for Fun adds another genre of reading to the richness of our game, exposing kids to all types of text. As a person with a passion for illustration and someone who leans towards the more visual side of learning, comic books still make up part of my regular reading material, allowing the enjoyment of the art AND reading at the same time.

Whether your kid is a visual learner or not, they'll love this. So tell your Reading for Fun fan that we’re adding a new comic for them to earn for their monster’s bookshelf, and get them to share it with you when they do… I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a great addition to our game.

Keep an eye on our social posts, as we'll announce when this has been added so you can make sure to update the game and get this comic!

If you'd like a preview of 'Bongo Blows His Top', you can download the full comic from our 'Comics' area in our Learning Resources.
