  1. Our new and exciting school reading programme that joins books with eBooks

  2. What is Bug Club? • A reading programme that we will be using here at Florendine school to help teach reading • The programme consists of carefully graded reading books and eBooks • Children will read the books in school as well as have the opportunity to access the eBooks via a personalised website

  3. Here at Florendine we want to inspire a love of reading. The book content features some well-known characters and brands that the children will thoroughly enjoy reading about.

  4. As well as using the books in school we will have access to eBooks! But why use eBooks? • Children will really enjoy reading books onscreen and completing fun quiz questions found in the eBooks • The quiz questions will help the children practise their reading skills • The Foundation and KS1 eBooks are also audio-books, so children can enjoy hearing an expressive reading of the story

  5. When can children use the eBooks? • If you have access to an internet connection at home, your child can log on whenever they want to, from home. • If you don’t have internet access, we will be making the computers in the ICT suite available to you and your child every Thursday after school until 4pm.

  6. Using the eBooks We are providing each child with their own login details to a website where they can read eBooks from their ‘virtual’ book bag. www.bugclub.co.uk

  7. Using the eBooks Log in here with the details we will give you Example login details School ID: 6jxs Username: Emily22 Password: sheep Each child’s login details will be different

  8. Using the eBooks If you have trouble logging on -please let us know! There has been some problems logging on using iPads and other apple devises, as the Bug Club site uses adobe flash to show the content. But there may be a way around the problem…

  9. A child’s homepage A Year 1 homepage Each year looks different • Your child will see eBooks on their homepage (KS2 children will need to click into My books) • We will allocate eBooks according to the reading level they are on • They can have up to 5 new eBooks at one time or the teacher may choose to allocate them one at a time

  10. Reading an eBook • Click on the book cover & see how many quiz questions there are • Read the book and click on the bug icons to open the quiz questions • Your child does not need to finish all quiz questions in one sitting. They can come back to a book later • Back in school the teachers will be able to see how your child has got on, so we would like the children to attempt the quizzes as unaided as possible!!

  11. Phonics Bug eBooks • Some eBooks contain a guide to help you know how to help your child with sounds. • These eBooks also have one quiz question that focuses on their word-skills.

  12. Bug Points and Rewards – KS1 A Reception reward screen – collecting stickers. At Year 1, children will collect things to decorate a treehouse. At Year 2, children will grow a dragon and see animations • When they have finished all quiz questions in an eBook, children will gain some Bug Points. • When they have read a few eBooks, they will have enough Bug Points to gain a reward. • A reward will appear on their screen, and they can see this reward in ‘My rewards’.

  13. Bug Points and Rewards – KS2 At Key Stage 2, children will have a choice of an accessory for their bug avatar or an online game.

  14. Books I Have Read • When your child has finished an eBook, the eBook will move to ‘Books I Have Read’ (KS1) or ‘Look again’ (KS2) where they can read it again, if they want to. • They can choose a new eBook from ‘My books’.

  15. Getting the most out ofthe eBooks • Children can read at their own pace. • Encourage your child to attempt all quizzes independently. • We can track their progress and help them with types of quiz questions they struggle with. • Allow your child to read a favourite eBook again.

  16. Let’s have a go! We have some log-ins and computers set up for you to be able to have a go! There are also some of the books we will be using in school for you to look though. Before you have a go, are there any questions?
