Evidence-based method that significantly improves results

Schools that fully implement Monster Phonics see an average 13% increase in Phonics Screen Check pass rates in their first year. The gain is up to 40% in EAL schools. We work closely with our schools, and monitor progress and impact. Inclusive ongoing bespoke training ensures high levels of knowledge and expertise for teachers, teaching assistants and senior leaders. Because of this, results are 6% higher than the national average, using a like-for-like comparison across England.

Enhanced systematic synthetic phonics

Monster Phonics is a systematic synthetic phonics scheme enhanced by a child-centred multisensory system. This 3-tiered approach: visual support, sound cues and child-centred teaching, supports memory and facilitates learning. By associating sounds with visual memory cues, children are more likely to recall the phonics rules and apply them when reading and writing.

“I just wanted to say how delighted I am with the progress that the children have made since we introduced Monster Phonics. Our Year One Phonics Screening results saw an increase of 35%. We are thrilled.”

Juliet, Phonics Lead, Redbourn Primary

“We have had our best phonics screening results in 5 years with a cohort that struggled last year and most importantly they are all engaging in lessons together and are loving reading. We are so excited to see the progress with classes that have had the scheme from the beginning!”

Harriet Jessop, Phonics Lead, Lympne Primary School

“Monster Phonics has significantly improved our Phonics teaching and learning. Children are highly engaged in lessons, enjoy the decodable reading books, and love all the monsters! Since starting the scheme, our Phonics Screening Check data has significantly improved and we could not be more proud of the children!”

Emily Barnes, Class Teacher, Disley Primary School

“I highly recommend Monster Phonics to all schools! After years of trying different phonics programmes, we came across Monster Phonics. It has transformed the phonics teaching within our school. It has enabled us to have a consistent approach to phonics lessons in a large international school setting due to the training and support from the Monster Phonics team, as well as the in-depth planning and resources provided. This has supported staff of all levels of experience to successfully deliver phonics lessons. We love the colour coding of books, especially for our EAL students and their parents. The concept is fun and engaging for children of all ages – we have even observed children bringing the monsters and their actions into their play. Thank you Monster Phonics!”

Hannah Rudling, Deputy Principal, Al Ain English Speaking 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

FAQs

Is there a Monster Phonics Reading Scheme?

Yes. We highly recommend you purchase the Monster Phonics reading scheme with the membership to accelerate learning and improve results. Our decodable books are fully aligned with our phonics programme and features a wide range of fiction and non-fiction titles.

How does Monster Phonics improve learning?

Monster Phonics is a highly-engaging, structured, synthetic phonics programme. It accelerates learning by allowing children to learn new graphemes by using monsters to group graphemes for recall and to provide an easy and fun memory cue for children. It also uses colour-coding to highlight the grapheme when teaching a new grapheme. Once taught and secure, the colour is removed. Multisensory focused teaching improves learning. Children love Monster Phonics. The high engagement and interest created by the programme further supports learning.

Can I try Monster Phonics with my class?

Yes, you can. We recommend all the teachers to sign up for the 7 day free trial to access the planning and resources without any commitments. We also allow schools full access for a limited period. Contact us to find out more.

Is Monster Phonics used internationally

We also have intervention comics that are designed for children in Key Stage 2 who need an extra boost to help acquire core phonics skills.

Is Monster Phonics suitable for children learning English as an additional language?

Our unique approach helps children to learn to read and write words containing the difficult long vowels, silent letters and tricky words that frequently cause problems for children learning to read and write in English. It also provides more support with pronunciation. This is particularly beneficial for EAL learners.
