Bug Club Phonics is a Department for Education-approved phonics teaching programme that gives children a strong foundation in phonics. It uses research-based teaching methods, proven to work. All books are 100% decodable to help today's little readers get started on their journey to reading success.

Bug Club Phonics books are ideal for use at home and are a great way to help your child take their first steps towards 'cracking the code' which will enable them to learn to read and spell.

Helpful notes on the inside front cover of each book highlight tricky words and give you ideas for before and during reading, and the inside back covers include ideas for delving deeper after reading to check understanding.

The packs are matched to the phonics phases children are taught in school by term, from nursery to Year 1:

Nursery (EYFS): phase 1
Reception, term 1: phase 2
Reception, term 2: phase 3
Reception, term 3: phase 4
Year 1, term 1: Phase 5
Year 1, term 2: Phase 5/6
