Phonics

Phonics is an integral part of the Early Reading journey for Key Stage 1. Monster Phonics is a DFE listed programme that uses a colour-coded grapheme system linked to monsters!  Each coloured grapheme is paired with a monster character that makes the same sound to give audit-visual prompts that help children 'se' each sound within a word and pronounce it correctly.  Monster Phonics is taught in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 and it uses a cumulative approach, building on previous learning. We watch the children's excitement and engagement in their lessons as they navigate their progression through the scheme.
