December Monster Mash

Monster Mash December 2024

Hello to the Monster Phonics family! 👋

 

In this final edition of the Monster Mash for this year, we’ve highlighted a few key areas we hope will be helpful as you prepare for 2025.

ORDERS!

We love orders – sending the monsters and resources across the UK and further afield is always exciting. The last day for delivery before the holidays is Wednesday, 18th December. We will resume deliveries on Tuesday, 2nd January.
You can continue placing orders online over the holiday period, so please keep them coming. As always, we’re here to ensure you have everything you need to make a difference to your children’s learning.

WORKING WITH SCHOOLS

We’ve been making updates to our eBooks to make things even easier for schools. Here are some of the new features:
  • A streamlined way to generate user IDs and logins for children in a class by simply pasting the class list into a box. Everything is generated and can then be copied or printed out and shared with families. With this method, there’s no need to use parent emails.
  • Soon, we’ll add a feature allowing schools to set up teacher accounts in the same straightforward way, managed by the school administrator.

Online Tracker Updates

Development on Phase 2 of the online tracker is set to begin in Spring 2025. In September, we introduced the first version of the online tracker and have since made several small improvements. Bigger updates are planned for the spring term, including:
  • Easier linking of school members.
  • The ability to complete only parts of an assessment or focus on specific gaps.
  • Updates to the reporting sections.
We’re also committing to a third update in the summer, based on feedback from schools. Our aim is to provide an increasingly powerful tracking tool, free to member schools, that saves schools money while offering a user-friendly alternative to manual systems. With your feedback and support, we’re confident this tracker will make a big difference.

BLOGS AND VLOGS
