I hope you’re having a great week! I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting updates on our Monster Phonics Assessment Tracker – something we’ve been working hard on behind the scenes.
When we launched the tracker in September, we mentioned that a Spring update – Phase 2 was on the way, packed with new features. We’re now rolling these out over the coming weeks and months!
We know that introducing changes mid-year can be tricky, but we really think these updates will make the tracker even more user-friendly and powerful for schools.
🛠️ Save & Return to Assessments – You can now pause and save an assessment, making it easier for children to complete longer tests or work in smaller chunks.
🔄 Re-Test Only Incorrect Answers – A much-requested feature! We are working on adding this feature to the dashboard.
📊 Track Progress Over Time – We’ve started developing a way for schools to compare a range of assessments over time. This would be an individual, class, or cohort.
📈 Improved Reporting – We’re making data presentation clearer and more useful, based on feedback from schools.
🧑🏫 A More Intuitive User Journey – Right now, the tracker is assessment-focused, but we’re redesigning the experience to make it easier to look at an individual child, class, or cohort in a way that feels more natural for teachers.
These updates will be released gradually as the team works through the rollout plan. We’ll only go live when we’re confident everything is ready, and of course, we’ll be listening to your feedback along the way to make adjustments where needed.
We’ll keep you posted with mini updates in The Monster Mash – and I really appreciate any feedback you have as we continue improving the system!

Have a fantastic rest of the week!
