Phonics Bug books are ideal for use at home too, 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.

Phonics Bug Pack 2 is great for encouraging your Foundation Stage early readers. It contains 4 Phase 2 fiction books – Tut, Tup, Pup!; Sid and Duck; Big Fat Rat; and The Bop – which are perfect for reading before stepping across to the Bug Club Pink Level Pack.

Tut, Tup, Pup!: The animals are causing chaos on the farm – especially Pup, who makes a special kind of mess.

Sid and Duck: It’s bath time, and Sid and Duck make a mess! Sid tries to blame Duck, but Nan doesn’t believe what really happened.

Big Fat Rat: Greedy Rat tucks into some leftover birthday cake. The children are worried when Rat falls asleep, but it seems he just needs to take a nap!

The Bop: There’s a dance tonight – all the animals get on board the fun bus. Each has a special dance.
