"We launched Monster Phonics at our school in September and we feel that it’s already having a positive impact on our children’s reading and writing.  Not only were the children immediately hooked by the fun characters and songs, but the colour coding of sounds is really helping our EAL learners to retain more easily than before. 

We’ve also had positive feedback from the parents who tell us that their children go home talking about their Phonics lessons."
