Bug Club is the first phonics-based school reading programme that joins books with an online reading world to teach children to read. With a fantastic mix of fiction, non-fiction, comics and phonics, and characters with kid-cred such as Walllace & Gromit, Casper the Friendly Ghost and Shaun the Sheep, plus new characters like the Mermaids and the Fang Family, there’s plenty to engage both girls and boys.
Bug Club books are ideal for reading at home too, as additional practice or just for fun. Each Bug Club book is levelled to Book Bands (just like the books your child brings home from school in their book bag), so you can be sure you're buying great reads at the right level for your child. Helpful parent notes on the inside cover of each book highlight high frequency words and sounds, and the inside back cover includes ideas for games and activities related to each book.
Bug Club's Turquoise Level Reading Pack is great for encouraging your young readers at Year 2 to read more widely with confidence. It contains 4 fiction and 2 non-fiction books – Dino-Splashing; Yun and the Ice Spirit; Run in the Rainforest; Just the Job; Cars, Cars, Cars; and Can You Do This?
