Monster Phonics accelerates learning and improves results

“Monster Phonics has significantly improved our Phonics teaching and learning. Children are highly engaged in lessons, enjoy the decodable reading books, and love all the monsters! Since starting the scheme, our Phonics Screening Check data has significantly improved and we could not be more proud of the children!”

“I just wanted to say how delighted I am with the progress that the children have made since we introduced Monster Phonics. Our Year One Phonics Screening results saw an increase of 35%. We are thrilled.”

“We have had our best phonics screening results in 5 years with a cohort that struggled last year and most importantly they are all engaging in lessons together and are loving reading. We are so excited to see the progress with classes that have had the scheme from the beginning!”

“It has transformed the phonics teaching within our school. It has enabled us to have a consistent approach to phonics lessons in a large international school setting due to the training and support from the Monster Phonics team, as well as the in-depth planning and resources provided. This has supported staff of all levels of experience to successfully deliver phonics lessons. We love the colour coding of books, especially for our EAL students and their parents. The concept is fun and engaging for children of all ages – we have even observed children bringing the monsters and their actions into their play. Thank you Monster Phonics!”

“Monster Phonics has ignited our children’s love of phonics and reading. It’s multisensory approach and delightful characters immediately engaged the children and we have seen a positive impact on their phonic and reading abilities. The use of colour coding helps the children to remember and recall sounds and they are able to quickly decode and read high frequency words. We love Monster Phonics and so do the children!”

“The whole of EYFS and Year 1 engage really well with the scheme, they love the monsters and really enjoy this phonics learning. The resources are well planned and inviting for the children, and all the planning is there, which takes away so much from my workload! ”

“The children thrive through using colour-coded monsters to support their learning of phonics. The learning materials are of high-quality, we especially love the soft toys, and we find they are very successful in classrooms. The children have a new love for reading, they are excited to get their phonics books out and find out which monster they are reading about that day! The monsters play a huge part in successful engagement in every lesson/intervention. We found the PSC materials Monster Phonics provided us with to be very helpful. Our results show the incredible impact Monster Phonics has had in our school – a 33% increase since we started Monster Phonics!!”

“Not only were the children immediately hooked by the fun characters and songs, but the colour-coding of sounds is really helping our EAL learners to retain more easily than before. We’ve also had positive feedback from the parents who tell us that their children go home talking about their Phonics lessons. The training at the beginning of the year was extremely useful and the Monster Phonics team have always been available to support us with any questions we have along the way.”

“Brilliant Programme for boosting attainment and a love of reading. We have taken the programme onboard fully and have invested in the new reading scheme attached to it. The books are lovely and unlike other phonetically decodable schemes these books are lovely to engage parents into their child’s learning. The layout has clearly been well thought out and supports our SEND children who have Visual impairments. The text size and font used in the Reception books has meant that specialist books with enlarged print have not been needed. The biggest impact has been on our boys and the bottom 20% of all the cohorts within EYFS and KS1.”

“The impact Monster Phonics has had on our children, parents and staff is staggering. This year we have seen the best ever PSC results and this is due to Monster Phonics and it being engaging, creative, fun and enjoyable for everyone – children, staff and parents.”

“Monster Phonics has created a real buzz around our school; lessons are fun, engaging and multi-sensory. The resources are great to have at your fingertips and planning is really easy to follow and adapt to support learning in your school, for both whole-class teaching and intervention groups. The clever use of characters is really bringing phonics to life; even our youngest children delight in telling you about the characters.”

“The foundation stage children 58/60 are all able to blend and read simple words – we have never had a cohort had a cohort going into Year One at this level – I have been teaching for 24 years and have never seen this.” As an aside, my child is in Year One. When he started Reception he had no sounds, just letter names. He scored 39/40 on his Phonics Test last week. As a parent, I have read through the scheme with him every day and love the way the books are designed.”

“The children absolutely love Monster Phonics and enjoy learning about the different characters involved. Lessons are really engaging and stimulate the children’s curiosity. The programme is designed to encourage over-learning, allowing the children to constantly apply knowledge and skills. Monster Phonics has been written with a good understanding of how children can decipher the English language.”

“Thank you Monster Phonics for this wonderful reading scheme. As a teacher of Year 1 & 2, who has a wide range of reading abilities, the books are perfect for covering the whole phonics programme. The children were so excited to start reading their Monster Phonics Books this week.”

“We implemented Monster Phonics a couple of years ago and saw an instant improvement in children’s phonics. This has translated over time into substantial improvements in reading and spelling. The children love the characters and our teachers love how easy it is to plan and adjust lessons – an all-rounder winner!”

“Monster phonics is an excellent teaching and learning programme for the classroom. My class thoroughly enjoyed learning about all of the monsters and their sounds. It enhances their engagement in phonics as they are excited about learning which monster each sound comes from. I would definitely recommend this teaching and learning programme to any primary school.”

“Monster Phonics – fun, engaging and exciting. After recently introducing Monster Phonics across the school, my Y1 class absolutely love it! The characters are instantly recognisable, bright and fun, with a back story to support who they are. Thank you for the great resources and planning too. Highly recommended.”

“Monster Phonics combines a carefully-structured teaching and learning programme with an engaging reading scheme. A strong feature of the programme is the high-quality core materials for teachers and parents.”

“Children clearly adored it and the teachers were huge advocates of the scheme. I have seen pretty much everything during my time in education but this really stands out as the most fun, engaging approach that I have seen, which genuinely creates happy, confident learners. In my humble opinion, Monster Phonics is unrivalled as an all-encompassing and exciting phonics approach for EYFS and KS1 and as an intervention programme in KS2. The improved results in schools using Monster Phonics are significant. I would urge any school and any teacher seeking to better help all children to start using Monster Phonics today.”
