TRUGS cards also come in individual stages, with each stage focusing on a different set of starting words and phonic patterns.
The individual stages can be roughly grouped into three difficulty bands:
- Stages 1-5 are intended for a reading age of 5 - 7.5 years
- Stages 6-10 are intended for a reading age of 7.5 - 9 years
- Stages 11-15 are intended for a reading age of 9-14 years
