Description
What is Bug Club Guided?
Bug Club Guided is a robust guided reading programme with over 250 engaging texts across Key Stage 1 and 2. It helps children master fluency and deepen comprehension and is broken into KS1/P1-3 and KS2/P4-7 packages, with each approached differently to better suit the stage of child development.
Bug Club Guided Reading at Key Stage 1 is centred around books your children want to read. Time saving guided reading cards accompany each of the books and cover multiple sessions that go into depth with each text. These focus on questions that will challenge and grow children’s comprehension skills. There are also accompanying photocopiable activities to support each title and extend learning.
Bug Club Guided at Key Stage 2 uses weekly teaching cycles that apply eight key learning strategies, including three key questions.

“I liked the look of it straight away … I was impressed by how well it was structured, the range of texts, and the bright, colourful workbooks.”

The impact of Bug Club
Over an 18-month period, we conducted detailed research with University College London to understand the impact Bug Club had on learning.
The report showed Bug Club Independent can help you with:
- Raising attainment – After 18 months pupils using Bug Club were 11 months ahead of their expected reading age. (Expected InCas reading score relative to their age.)
- Closing the gap – After just half a year, Bug Club had a significant impact on reading gains for pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium, helping to close the gap between them and students not on Pupil Premium.
- Motivation – After just a few months children were reading for longer. After 12 to 18 months of reading with Bug Club pupils said they liked to read and go to school more.
- Reading for Pleasure – Reluctant readers are motivated to read at home and all pupils enjoy the fiction, topics, story content and illustrations.
- Diversity/Inclusion – All pupils irrespective of age, gender or ability love Bug Club materials.
- Teacher workload – Teachers and in particular NQTs, find the materials easy to follow and supportive.
