Bug Club is the first whole-school reading programme that joins books with an online reading world to teach today's children to read.

This Planning Guide helps you to:

• understand the fine leveling and pedagogy behind the books
• support parents and carers, so that they can encourage children's developing literacy at home
• assess children's phonic skills at each sub-Book-Band level
• plan and run focused guided reading sessions
• gather evidence to assess children's progress in reading, spoken language and writing
• extend learning with a photocopy master available for every book
