Monster Phonics is a highly advanced multisensory Systematic Synthetic Phonics Programme (SSP). It uses 10 monsters to categorise all sounds into 10 simple areas. Each monster has a different colour. That colour represents that way of spelling the sound.
Phonics books use phonics that children have been taught. The order of teaching phonics is matched to the curriculum in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.
The phonics focus words and high-frequency word practice boxes at the start of each book help children familiarise themselves with the phonics and vocabulary prior to reading. Comprehension questions help aid children’s development and inference skills.
Monster Phonics enables English to be learnt in a simplistic way. The 26 letters of the alphabet and combinations of these letters make 44 different sounds (phonemes) in English.
There are 144 ways (graphemes) to spell these 44 sounds. For example, the sound A is spelt 8 different ways; ay (play), ai (train), a-e (make), a (apron), ei (vein), eigh (eight), ea (great), ey (grey).
Monster Phonics uses the 10 monsters to categorise all sounds into 10 simple areas. Furthermore, each monster has a different colour and that colour also represents the sound. This means children can recognise the monsters and the colour associated with the sound, which helps them spell, read and write.
The use of monsters and the games associated with Monster Phonics ensures Monster Phonics is a fun and engaging way to learn, further accelerating the speed of learning for all.
To support learning, Monster Phonics decodable books should be read alongside the programme as part of your guided reading sessions. We recommend 3 guided reading sessions per week, after which the book is sent home for home reading. For further guidance on placement and how to deliver guided reading, please refer to the section on guided reading in our online manual.
