Monster Mash – A bright start to 2026

We hope 2026 is going well for you so far. Below are a few updates from the team. Thanks for reading.


The new shop is live

Choose the path that’s right for your school

Shopify Promo Square 1

When you visit the Monster Phonics shop, you’ll now see two pathways: Classic and Universal.

Classic is the original Monster Phonics you already know and love. Nothing is changing here.

Universal includes adapted character designs and some stories updated to reflect a wider range of contexts from around the world, while keeping the same programme structure and teaching sequence.

Both pathways follow the same Monster Phonics programme and are fully supported.

A quick reminder that single book ordering is now open, following your feedback. If you’d like a quote for a specific title, just get in touch.

Our Word Builder Tool is coming

We’re excited to share that a new Word Builder tool is arriving very soon.

Take a look at the short video below to see what’s coming.

This tool is the first of several we’re planning to develop over the next six to nine months, supporting different aspects of literacy. Ideas we’re exploring include a handwriting tool and a punctuation tool but first, we want to get this one right.

We would really value your feedback:

New look dashboard

Screenshot 2026 01 08 at 15.13.01We’ve updated your Teacher Dashboard to make room for everything Monster Phonics offers and everything still to come.

You’ll now see a clearer, more flexible dashboard that brings all your programmes, tools, and resources together in one place. We’ve also introduced dynamic naming of year groups, so schools in different regions see language that reflects their own context.

Head over to your dashboard to explore what’s new.
