St Benedict’s Catholic Primary School Hindley
At St Benedict’s, we use Monster Phonics to teach children in Reception and Key Stage One how to read.
Monster Phonics is a whole-class Systematic Synthetic Phonics Scheme with Decodable Books for children in Reception and Key Stage 1.
It teaches children to read by enabling them to identify the individual graphemes (letter combinations) and blend the sounds (phonemes) together to read the word. It is a fun way to teach phonics, since it is multi-sensory. Sounds are categorised into ten colour groups, with each colour corresponding to a monster character. Monster Phonics is a highly advanced multisensory scheme. This creates interest and promotes engagement from the children.

Please note: The Phonics webpages already contain useful resources and documents, however they are currently being updated and added to 'behind the scenes' with photographs and examples of work.
