"Can we read today?  I need to know what happens to Sid."  Sophie, Grade 1.

"The Tummy Bug's systematic approach has been instrumental to the reading success of our students.  The tale of Fee Bee, Sid and the gang has charmed our readers and kept them coming back for  more"  Sam, Literacy Intervention Leader.

“There were cliff hangers in the books, and it made me want to read the next one.” Jackson – 9 years old. 

"We loved the Tummy Bug books! My son was struggling with reading, so we decided to buy the Tummy Bug Series to read over the school holidays. The series really engaged my son, and he was excited to find out what happened next, which made him enjoy reading rather than resisting it. Additionally, the titles of the books made us very curious about what was going to happen next. When Harvey started Term 1, his reading had improved so much that he didn't require extra support in the classroom.” Claire, Mum. 

“I liked the characters and I loved how they worked together to carry Sid”, Harvey – 7 years old. 

"I have used the Tummy Bug series with a couple of my students on a one-to-one basis over the last two terms.  I found the information given at the beginning of each book most helpful as a review of the previous grapheme used as well as the grapheme currently highlighted,  The questions at the end of each story are both factual and also engage the reader to develop an opinion which provides a solid basis for further discussion.  The relatable story of a snail who encounters a tummy bug, includes pooing and vomiting, subjects all students love to read about.  I highly recommend these books for developing grapheme knowledge and usage for K-3 students."  Sue, Tutor.

"The Tummy Bug series captivates the imagination of emerging readers, engaging them through interesting characters, beautiful illustrations and an exciting storyline whilst they learn and consolidate sounds.  I cannot recommend more highly this series for struggling readers who benefit profoundly from the repetition of sounds, development of phonemic awareness and an increasing vocabulary.  The Tummy Bug series encourages the pure enjoyment of reading through an entertaining text that will have new readers asking for more."  Kelly, Reading Intervention Specialist.
