The individual Bug Club Guided Readers have been written by children's authors from Australia, New Zealand and England. Our authors have experience in writing fiction and non-fiction books for both education markets and trade markets. All guided readers have been expertly Book Banded by Shirley Bickler and Suzanne Baker, authors of Book Bands for Guided Reading, as well as a current Reading Recovery tutor, based in Melbourne, Victoria, to align the reading levels to Reading Recovery.

Suitable for Emergent, Early, Fluent and Fluent Plus readers. Bug Club readers are finely levelled from reading levels 1-30, for literacy learning from Foundation through to Year 3 or older children.
