Using the Monster Phonics eBooks

Monster Phonics e-books is a reading scheme that your child should use for reading at home throughout the week. Each child has a unique homepage and can log into it by following these steps:

1.     Go to https://ebooks.monsterphonics.com/
2.     Enter your child’s login details (provided by the class teacher - these are located inside the front cover of your child's reading diary)
3.     Your child’s homepage will appear.

The books will appear in drop down tabs at the side of the screen under ‘Stages’. (Mrs Judd will inform Reception parents of the weekly focus grapheme and titles of books linked to that grapheme through Tapestry.)

We hope your child enjoys reading the Monster Phonics eBooks.

If you have any queries, please speak with your child’s teacher

Getting involved as a parent

• Look at the book cover and talk about it. Is the book likely to be fiction or non-fiction? Have you read other books together about these characters or by this author? What does your child think the book is going to be about?
• Read the focus words inside the front cover together.

• Support your child when unknown words need tackling using their phonics knowledge. Remind your child to listen to the words while reading them, to make sure that they make sense. Have a ‘meaning check’ every now and again to ensure that your child understands the text.
• Talk about the book. What was it about? Ask questions beginning with the words how and why to check that understanding.
