I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the Bug Club Phonics Non Fiction Reception Phase 3 Set 10 In the Dark

Bug Club Phonics Non Fiction Reception Phase 3 Set 10 In the Dark gives your Reception child (ages 4–5) a confident start in phonics through real-world discovery. Following Phase 3 of Letters and Sounds and aligned to the National Curriculum and Early Learning Goals, this Red C band book helps young readers decode simple words while exploring nocturnal animals and nighttime habitats. Part of the Bug Club reading series trusted in over 3,500 UK schools, it builds the fluency and decoding skills Reception pupils need to read independently by age six.

This non-fiction title introduces children to creatures that prowl after dark, combining engaging photographs and carefully controlled phonics to reinforce the sounds they are learning in class. Each page uses decodable text matched to Phase 3 expectations, so your child practises reading words built from known letter-sounds without frustration. The Bug Club structure ensures every book in the series supports systematic, incremental phonics teaching—ideal for home practice that mirrors school lessons and keeps learning on track.

Regular reading at home with Bug Club Phonics turns early hesitation into reading confidence. Your child will recognise more words, tackle new texts with enthusiasm, and develop comprehension skills that carry through Key Stage 1. The series covers the full Letters and Sounds progression, giving you a clear roadmap from Reception through to fluent reading. This single physical book ships quickly across the UK, ready to slot into your evening routine.
