We wrote this newsletter at the end of last week for you all.
Before sharing it, we wanted to slip in a short note from the Monster Phonics team to our new friends across the UAE.
Following the troubling events of the weekend, we are holding you in our thoughts — the wonderful teachers we have met, the children you support each day, your school communities and the wider communities around you.
We hope that wherever you are reading this note from our team, you are safe, you are supported, and you are surrounded by care.
Above all, we hope for peace — and for a return to calm, ordinary days for every child and every family.
And now, with that in mind, we share this month’s newsletter with you.
With care and respect,
The Monster Phonics Team
It was a real privilege to meet so many of you at our live training events in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
The passion, professionalism and commitment in the room were clear to see. We left feeling genuinely inspired by you.
We are encouraged by the response and are now working with the Ministry of Education to arrange additional live events for teachers who were unable to attend the first sessions. We look forward to sharing those details with you very soon.
It has been wonderful to see many of you already logging into the platform. There is a great deal waiting for you inside Monster Phonics.
As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Right now, that step is simple:
Log in and begin with the lessons!
The programme follows the exact order of your teaching sequence. There is no need to search or adapt. Open the Teacher App, select your lesson and begin.
Here to Support YouIf you would like support as you begin, we are here.
Many of you met Hannah Rudling in Dubai. Hannah is based in the UAE and is leading teacher support throughout this rollout. She understands your context and is here to walk alongside you.

May this month bring reflection, strength and time with loved ones.
With warm wishes,
Ingrid Connors
