Brilliant Programme for boosting attainment and a love of reading

We have been using Monster Phonics since September 2019 and the impact has been amazing! Our Staff love the pedagogy behind the Monster Phonics programme and the enthusiasm in our children has been wonderful to witness.

We have taken the programme onboard fully and have invested in the new reading scheme attached to it. The books are lovely and unlike other phonetically decodable schemes these books are lovely to engage parents into their child’s learning. The layout has clearly been well thought out and supports our SEND children who have Visual impairments. The text size and font used in the Reception books has meant that specialist books with enlarged print have not been needed.

The biggest impact has been on our boys and the bottom 20% of all the cohorts within EYFS and KS1.
