Parental Help – Literacy

Bug Club:

Priory have invested in Bug Club, an online-based reading and maths tool. Your child has been given a username and password, allocated books by their class teacher (at their level) and can choose from a wide range of books to read.

Their teacher is able to monitor their progress and, as they answer more difficult questions in the higher levels, respond to answers with comments to further learning.

Bug Club has recently migrated to Active Learning and can now be accessed via https://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk/ You can log in to the site using your child’s previous login details and school code: pcoe (Priory Church of England)
