Bug Club walkthrough
Find out more about Bug Club and how it has been proven to boost children's reading progress by up to 6 months.
“Bug Club gives me the flexibility to differentiate reading instruction throughout multiple leveled groups. Being able to track their progress in real time shows me what they are understanding and in turn, what they are struggling with, allowing me to quickly identify target areas of instruction. The children love having books right at their fingertips and I love how excited they get about reading.”
