Bug in a rug

Usborne Phonics Readers have been created in consultation with a language expert, taking into account the latest research on the most effective ways of teaching reading.

“I need my sleep tonight,” says Bug. “Tomorrow I start work for Slug.” Bug glugs hot chocolate from a mug. Then snuggles up inside his rug.

Children who are learning to read will benefit from the high interest phonics-based text and story which has been specially written to help children learn to read.

Children who have just learned to read can enjoy the lively stories with very little guidance from an adult, gaining the experience and enthusiasm they need to become fully confident readers.

A lively story with irresistible illustrations, this book is a delight to share. The simple rhyming text is a great way to develop essential language and early reading skills, and there are guidance notes for parents at the back of the book.

The original Easy Words to Read series included 12 titles. As these go out of print they are being replaced with additional titles which do not include the Cartwright duck or flaps. The earlier books are now called the Phonics Reader with Flaps series and the later books simply called the Phonics Reader Series.
