Hello to the Monster Phonics Family
Things have been buzzing here at Monster Phonics as we support schools preparing for this term and getting ahead for September.
We know how busy this time of year can be. That’s why we wanted to share a few exciting updates, resources, and ways we’re here to help.
Have You Taken a Monster Peek?
A quick and easy way to explore our full book collection.
Many schools have given us fantastic feedback on our new Monster Peek Leaflet — a simple way to explore a full book sample from each of our collections.
If you missed it, here’s your chance to take a look:

Why did we create it? Because choosing the right resources matters. The Monster Peek gives you a true feel for our decodable readers — including newer additions like Stage 11 and our much-loved Intervention Comics.
We’ve poured time, creativity, and care into every book, so please do explore. After all, investing in success (and in reading) is always worthwhile — though of course, we would say that, wouldn’t we?
Two Important Developments
1. Assessment Tracker – Free and Ready to Use
Tracking progress has never been easier — or more accessible.
Our brand-new Assessment Tracker is now live within the Monster Phonics programme. It’s designed to make assessment simple, useful, and effective — with your feedback helping us continually refine it.
🎥 Don’t miss the quick video guide in your programme area to get started.
💡 How much is it? Completely free for all Monster Phonics schools! :
Already using the tracker and you have thoughts? Ian would love to hear from you: ian@monsterphonics.com.
2. CPD That Grows With You: The New Training Hub
Professional development made simple, flexible, and effective.
Launching soon, our new Training Hub will offer three tiers of professional development to support every member of your team:
-
Phonics Fundamentals
Essential training for all staff, underpinning phonics pedagogy at your school.
-
Core Team Training
New modules to work through at your own pace, with supporting materials.
-
Specialist Pathways
In-depth training on key areas of phonics and reading, including practical ‘how-to’ videos.
🎥 Watch the new introduction video from our Head of Training, Kathryn Tilbury, in the Training Hub.
Kathryn explains how the updated hub will support your team — wherever they are in their phonics journey.
Our aim is simple: to provide continuous, flexible professional development that evolves with your school.
We’re Always Here for You
As always, we’re here if you need us. Whether it’s a quick question, some advice, or help finding the right resources — we’re only an email or call away.
We’ll be back with more updates soon — including a deeper look at how we’re evolving Monster Phonics to be even more inclusive.
With love and respect,
Ingrid & the Monster Phonics Team
