Bug Club Independent Grey

This collection of 28 books, at book band level Grey, includes the mythical stories of Beowulf, exciting fiction from popular authors and series, including Guy Bass's Dinking Dings and Margaret Ryan's Pet Finders, as well as vibrant non-fiction books on a wide range of subjects. Our favourite is 101 Ways to Save the Planet Before Bedtime. In line with the commonly used KS2 book band levels, Brown, Grey, Dark Blue, (Bug Club Blue) Dark Red (Bug Club Red) and Dark Red+ (Bug Club Red+), Bug Club Independent is perfect for monitoring KS2 pupils' reading progression. Reading books are well written and levelled, maintaining a bright, diverse, attractive 'real' book look and feel that helps to keep children excited about their independent reading. Progressing through book band colours is a good motivator for children who will be proud of their achievement in reading. Books are shorter than many library (non-scheme) books for the older age pupils, but are ideal for sharing with an adult for assessment and for assuring that perfectly pitched books offer the right level of challenge across a broad range of different genres. As always the inside covers provide extra support and extension activities. Inside the covers of the short chapter books at Grey level, there are notes and fun interviews with the author, whilst back cover notes encourage readers to go back through the text and look for alliteration, for example. Your Bug Club Grey banded books will be fully fitted with a protective book jacket free of charge.
