A simple way to keep track of the reading children are doing at home. Tracking children's reading is important and we at Pearson know this. That's why we're launching Bug Club Reading Records - a simple way to keep track of the reading children are doing at home that is suitable for both KS1 and KS2 children. At the back of the reading record, there is a Phonics progression chart that explains the sounds covered at each phonics stage and how these relate to our Bug Club book bands as well as a High frequency words chart for adults and children to refer to as well. There are spaces for children to record their thoughts at the bottom of the reading record page and the back page of the book: what they have enjoyed and the new things they have learned or what to learn more about. Are your children reading Bug Club online? On the inside front cover there is a dedicated space for children to record their log in details saving time when it comes to reading those exciting books in ActiveLearn!
