RAE, Elsepth . &; Rowena Rae . Meg and Greg: Train Day . Feb. 2025. Bk. 6. ISBN 9781459838260 . ea vol: illus. by Elisa Guti&3;rrez. 160p. (Meg and Greg). Orca . Tr $16.95. Gr 2–4— The latest additions to the "Meg and Greg" series continue to deliver valuable phonics instruction through engaging stories, with one title focusing on suffixes and the other on long vowel sounds. Each book includes four five-chapter stories, designed to be read in tandem by an adult and a child. The left page presents a more complex narrative for the adult, while the right page features simpler, comic-style illustrations and text for the child. The use of a dyslexia-friendly typeface, ample spacing, and shaded paper reduces visual strain and makes the stories more accessible for readers with dyslexia. In one title, Meg and Greg embark on new school adventures with their friends, while the other takes them on vacation. Although independent readers might find the shared reading format limiting, the series offers a rare and much-needed resource for children with dyslexia. VERDICT The adult-child team reading approach is innovative and makes this series a valuable addition to any collection, particularly for libraries supporting diverse reading needs.
A decodable book featuring four phonics stories for striving readers, with special features to help children with dyslexia or other language-based learning difficulties find reading success.
Meg and Greg are back to school and ready for fall fun! Join Meg, Greg and friends as they plan an event for dogs at the fall fair, solve challenging clues in a scavenger hunt, complete their planned science-fair project and look after excitable kindergarteners at the pumpkin patch.
Meg and Greg: A Handful of Dogs is the fifth book in the Meg and Greg series designed for shared reading between a child learning to read and an experienced reader. The four stories inside introduce different types of suffixes and prefixes (consonant suffixes -ful -ly -ment -s, vowel suffixes -en -er -es -est -ing -y, the suffix -ed and prefixes de- dis- ex- in- pre- re- un-) and the spelling rules for adding them to base words. In addition to the familiar comic-style kids pages, Book 5 features new highly controlled and decodable prose pages to gently increase the amount of text that readers experience and to provide even more opportunities to practice the reading skills previously introduced in Meg and Greg Books 14!
