Supports progress and attainment for children in Phonics.

The children really enjoy the characters and it supports them to recognise the sounds, particularly sounds in which there are alternative spellings.
The songs are fun and the customer service is excellent.
The website is undergoing improvements in the layout, which look fantastic!

I found the parent webinar very informative and a great way of finding out more detail of this phonics scheme used by our school. It was full of handy hints and tips and provided details of how monster phonics has developed lots of supportive online materials which we can access. Thanks for offering these webinars for parents!

Fantastic service

What a fantastic programme!
Our reception children absolutely love the monsters and are so confident in finding the sounds that they make in words because of how familiar they are with them.

great scheme

My sons school have just started using Monster Phonics - it's a great scheme and although he is a reluctant reader he is much more willing to engage in Monster Phonics than any of the previous phonics work, I am looking forward to see him progress!

Highly recommend this company

Brilliant customer service with a very personal touch.
Purchased as a gift for my daughters school.
The teacher said “ They are brilliant, perfect for our children. We like that they have words the adult can read to make the story more relevant for the children. We are going to order some more”

Key Stage 2 Intervention

As a Key Stage 2 teacher I am not a confident phonics teacher. I have found the monster phonics to be simple to use and engaging with even the older pupils. We are using them as part of an effective Year 4 intervention session.

Monster Phonics - fun, engaging and exciting.

After recently introducing Monster Phonics across school, my Y1 class absolutely love it! The characters are instantly recognisable, bright and fun, with a back story to support who they are. Thank you for the great resources and planning too. Highly recommended.

10/10 for Monster Phonics

Monster Phonics is an amazing synthetic systematic phonics programme. It allows children to learn how to read and spell through a multi sensory approach. The colour coded graphemes are a wonderful way for children to memorise phonemes and accurately spell them. Children love the monsters who have their own personalities and jingles! Well done!!

Super start - really engaging

I am using the program to bridge gaps in lower KS2. Having introduced the monsters and used one of the songs the children are all loving it. Even asking for the song on during their reward time.

Enjoyable, engaging scheme

The children have enthusiatically engaged with the scheme. They love listening to the songs and watching the videos. The colour coding of the monsters and corresponding letters has already helped with the children's progress

I’ve seen my children grow in confidence with their reading because of this scheme. It’s not only a supportive scheme for children but also for schools. They have delivered some excellent webinars during lockdown and have continued to train our staff with online INSETs. Our children love the monsters and therefore love reading.

The children are already understanding the characters, actions and sounds independently. The actions and colours make it interactive and I feel that this will start to make a BIG impact in their independent reading and writing.

Making phonics fun again

Making phonics fun again! Monster Phonics has certainly reignited my passion for phonics. It has transformed the way my 5 year old views phonics sessions and the colour coding aids his understanding of the different letter-sounds. The monsters provide a brilliant context for learning which is memorable and above all fun!
