This month’s Monster Mash is all about help — the kind that makes life easier for you and your team. We’re sharing two big ways we’re supporting schools this term: new Specialised Pathways for teacher training, and our 24/7 Monster Help Desk.
Our new Specialised Pathways are LIVE! They give your team focused, practical training they can dip into whenever it suits them best — from early reading and SEND to leadership and assessment.
Each pathway is designed to make professional development flexible, accessible, and directly useful in the classroom — helping every teacher feel confident and supported.
Flexible. Focused. For every teacher.
“Every teacher’s journey is different, and that’s exactly what our new Specialised Pathways recognise. They give teachers real choice — the flexibility to focus on what matters most to them, when it suits them best.
Each pathway is packed with practical, classroom-ready ideas that build confidence step by step. Whether you’re exploring early reading, SEND, leadership or assessment, you’ll find clear next steps that make a real difference every day.
We designed these pathways so teachers never feel stuck — because the best professional development meets you where you are and helps you grow from there.”
— Kathryn Tilbury, Head of Training

Not just anybody – the Monster Help Desk is here 24/7.
The new Monster Help Desk gives you quick, simple ways to get answers when you need them:
🟣 The Monster Knowledge Centre – hundreds of short articles answering common questions such as “How do I add teachers?” and “Where can I find training?”
🟢 Chatbot – get an instant response day or night; perfect for quick questions.
🟡 Support Form – for queries that need a personal reply, your form goes straight to the right Monster team so you get an answer faster.
You can still email us if you prefer, but using the Help Desk means your question reaches the right person more quickly.
At Monster Phonics, your feedback shapes everything we do — from classroom resources to our digital tools.
We’ve added a temporary feedback button to each dashboard so you can quickly share your thoughts. It only takes a minute, and your ideas will help guide our next product updates. Or click on the link below.
