How do you plan in the Nursery Programme? Do you have to teach each Aspect in order?

The Monster Phonics Nursery Programme offers flexibility that empowers practitioners to tailor teaching to the unique needs of their children.

Rather than following a fixed sequence like a systematic synthetic phonics programme, the Nursery Programme is designed as a responsive toolkit. Practitioners can adapt and mix activities to reflect children’s interests, developmental stage, and emerging skills.

This flexible approach supports the development of listening, attention, and speaking skills through purposeful, playful learning. Planning can therefore be guided by the children — ensuring every session is engaging, developmentally appropriate, and focused on building strong early communication and sound awareness.
