Updates from Monster Phonics
The summer has arrived – sort of! We know how busy this time of year is, so thank you for taking the time to read this month’s Monster Mash. It packs a punch.
Introducing the New Monster Phonics Training Hub!
We’re excited to have launched our brand-new Monster Phonics Training Hub—a flexible, easy-to-access space designed to support every school using our programme. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to deepen your practice, the hub is here to help you take that next step with confidence.
We understand how important ongoing professional development is—and how hard it can be to find time for it. That’s why the new hub is built for busy teachers: clear pathways, practical content, and CPD certification all designed to make learning simple, manageable, and impactful.
Welcome to the Training Tree
Our structured learning journey grows with you and your team:
-
Phonics Fundamentals – Perfect for new staff or a quick refresher
-
Core Team Training – Build confidence and consistency across your whole school
-
Specialised Pathways (coming soon) – Targeted training for specific roles and year groups
New! Updated ‘How-to’ Video Library
Our enhanced How-to Video Library is full of clear, practical videos that walk you through key parts of the Monster Phonics programme. Covering teaching strategies, group reading, and targeted support, it’s ideal for coaching, mentoring, or simply brushing up on best practice—whenever it suits you.
We’ve also refreshed our Nursery training, making it even more accessible and effective for early years teams.
We genuinely hope the new hub boosts your confidence and impact in the classroom—it’s part of our continued commitment to empowering teachers with everything they need to succeed.
Reflecting on Inclusivity in Our Monsters and Books
This academic year, we’ve carried out the most comprehensive review of the Monster Phonics programme in our history. Every part of our digital resource library has been updated and improved.
Your feedback has played a vital role in this process, and you’ll continue to see these improvements when you explore the website.
We also took the opportunity to reflect deeply on inclusivity. With a growing base of schools in both the UK and internationally, we’ve been thinking carefully about how to represent a broader view of the world. This includes our books, our characters, and the world they live in.
You’ll hear more about this in the next Monster Mash. In the meantime, you might have noticed more skies appearing across our materials – a gentle reminder that we all live under one sky. We’re working hard to ensure the Monster Phonics world is inclusive, fun, safe, and just the right amount of quirky.
