The Monster Spelling Piano app for tablets

The Spelling Piano app technology enables at least 90% of children to pass the PSC by the end of Reception. It frees up time to focus on reading for pleasure rather than on learning additional GPCs. Passing the PSC does not correlate with improved reading comprehension in KS2, so more is needed (Bradbury, 2019; Gibb, 2022; Wyse & Bradbury, 2022). However, passing it early and easily means we can spend more time on decoding within meaningful context.
Within the Speedie Readies system the Monster Spelling Piano app sets up a learning environment in which children can start the Monster Mapped One, Two, Three and Away! readers.

The Monster Spelling Piano app will run on most tablets made within the last five to six years, as long as they meet these basic requirements:

📱 For iPads (iOS)

🤖 For Android tablets

If your tablet can run apps like YouTube Kids or ClassDojo without issues, it will comfortably run Monster Spelling Piano.
