Phonics

Built around three clear teaching strands

The programme is organised into four easy-to-follow areas:

Phonics Time: Children develop listening and sound awareness through environmental sounds, instrumental sounds, body percussion, voice sounds, alliteration, oral blending and oral segmenting. As children are ready, they are gently introduced to early letter sound correspondences.

Rhyme Time: Children learn through nursery rhymes, songs, rhythm, rhyme, chanting and sound play. These sessions help children hear patterns in language, remember words and develop confidence with spoken language.

Story Time: Children enjoy traditional tales, high-quality stories, non-fiction texts and rich discussion. These sessions build vocabulary, comprehension, imagination and a love of books.

Singalong Time: A joyful opportunity for children to develop listening, language and phonological awareness through music, rhythm and rhyme.

A strong focus on speech and language

Strong communication skills are the foundation for future reading, learning and confidence. Many children now need extra time, repetition and playful practice to build these skills before formal phonics begins.
Monster Phonics Nursery supports children through stories, songs, rhyme, talk, sound play and meaningful interaction. Activities are planned to develop:
  • listening and attention
  • vocabulary growth
  • speaking in sentences
  • turn taking and conversation
  • memory and recall
  • hearing and distinguishing sounds
  • confidence with oral language
This makes the programme especially useful for children who need additional support with speech, language and communication.

A carefully paced introduction to phonics

Children are not rushed into formal phonics before they are ready. The programme first builds secure foundations in hearing, identifying and playing with sounds.

When children are ready, they begin to meet early grapheme phoneme correspondences through the familiar Monster Phonics characters, songs and visual cues. This keeps learning memorable, playful and accessible.

More on training

Multisensory learning children enjoy

Children learn through seeing, hearing, saying, moving, singing, playing and doing. The Monster Phonics characters, colours, songs and resources help children remember new learning and stay engaged.

This multisensory approach supports a wide range of learners, including children with EAL, SEND and speech and language needs.

Nurseries who’ve adopted our foundations programme genuinely can’t believe the results! Don’t just take our word for it…

“The Monster Phonics Nursery Programme fully prepares and sows the seeds each child's future phonics journey. Every child is immersed into a world of colourful monsters and their adventures which take children on an exciting and fully engaging experience of sounds and vocabulary. The children very quickly become familiar with the monsters and activities which embed learning of new knowledge, concepts and skills. The children are well equipped for starting Reception.”

Rebecca Goulding – Nursery Teacher Hall Green Infant & Nursery School​

“Monster Phonics has ignited our children’s love of phonics and reading. It’s multisensory approach and delightful characters immediately engaged the children and we have seen a positive impact on their phonic and reading abilities. The use of colour coding helps the children to remember and recall sounds and they are able to quickly decode and read high frequency words. We love Monster Phonics and so do the children!”

Janice Wood, Headteacher, Hall Green Infant and Nursery School

“58/60 of our Foundations stage are all able to blend and read simple words – we have never had a cohort had a cohort going into Year One at this level – I have been teaching for 24 years and have never seen this. As an aside, my child is in Year One. When he started Reception he had no sounds, just letter names. He scored 39/40 on his Phonics Test last week. As a parent, I have read through the scheme with him every day and love the way the books are designed.”

Loughton Manor First School

“The children absolutely love Monster Phonics and enjoy learning about the different characters involved. Lessons are really engaging and stimulate the children’s curiosity. The programme is designed to encourage over-learning, allowing the children to constantly apply knowledge and skills.”

Donna Bradley, Foundation Stage Teacher, Edgewood Primary
