1st July: Monster Mash

Monster Mash July 2

Updates from Ingrid, Founder

For quite a while, I’ve been teasing you with snippets of our latest projects – the Flying Ahead collection of books and the KS2 Phonics Kit Bag. This week, I’ve been sharing an inside look at both new resources, and I’m incredibly proud of what our team has achieved.

📚 Flying Ahead Collection 📚

The Flying Ahead collection is designed for all children transitioning from decodable readers to more advanced, unstructured reading. We know exactly where they finish and where their new reading journey should begin.

While suitable for all children, we’ve integrated features into both the fiction and non-fiction books that are especially beneficial for dyslexic learners, like many in my family. These features include wider spacing between lines of text, high levels of visuals for engagement, a structured approach to new vocabulary, and engaging use of characters in both sets. I truly believe this collection will make a significant difference.

KS2 Phonics Kit Bag

The KS2 Phonics Kit Bag is specifically designed for children who need additional support and for educators who may not always know how to assist children in KS2 with gaps in phonics.

I’m proud to be part of a company with such a talented team, creating resources that think of all children in an inclusive way. We all live under one sky, and the whole idea of Monster Phonics is to help all children thrive. Thank you for your support!
