Here at Wentworth we are excited to meet the monsters who are going to help us become phenomenal readers and writers!
Meet the Monsters of Monster Phonics Land
Black Cats
The Black Cats spend time in the haunted house with Tricky Witch and the Silent Ghosts. They are helping us to learn the first basic sounds in our language.
For example "c-a-t" says "cat".
Sometimes two of the black cat letters will appear together but will only make one sound. When we see this, we call it a digraph. For example; "ch" for "chip", "sh" for "shop", "ng" for "bang", "ck" for "duck".

For example: he, silly, sheep, tea, chief, donkey, ceiling, extreme.

Tricky Witch
Tricky Witch likes to trick children by changing the sounds they know so well into other letters. She colours all of the tricky letters gold.
For example: magic, the, was, all.
Silent Ghosts
Silent Ghosts live in the haunted house with Tricky Witch. They sneak into words but make no sound. Silent Ghosts colour all of the silent letters white. We never say the silent ghost sound, but we must remember where the silent ghosts are in words so that we can spell them correctly.
For example: when, your, castle.
