Bug Club and Reading Opportunities
'Oh think of the places we'll go...' Dr Seuss
Although we might not be able to physically leave our homes, reading offers continues to be a place we can travel anywhere in this world or our imagined world!
Bug Club
Bug Club is an online reading platform which the school now have access to. The children will each have their own personal log in that will take them to their account. Class teachers will be able to allocate books to the children that match their book level in school. This will mean the children can continue to read at home through the online platform without the physical need of numerous books. As an added bonus, the online versions of the books have ‘hotspots’ which challenge the children to answer questions based on what they have read.
