How does Monster Phonics teach sight words?

Monster Phonics makes sight words meaningful and memorable for children.

High-Frequency Words (HFWs) and Common Exception Words (CEWs) are taught through the distinctive Monster Phonics colour-coding system, which makes each word’s structure clear and memorable. Regular phoneme–grapheme correspondences appear in Monster colours, while the tricky parts are highlighted in gold.

Each word is taught through characters, songs, and stories that help children remember it. Words are revisited regularly within reading and writing to promote overlearning and fluency.

This systematic and multisensory approach ensures that HFWs and CEWs are taught rigorously and consistently, helping children to develop confident, automatic recognition of these essential words.
