Synopsis

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.

Join Meg and Greg as they uncover a long-lost secret about a knight, solve a riddle in an old castle, enter a race wearing fancy-dress costumes and help a paleontologist who has made a huge discovery.

Meg and Greg: The Unknown Knight is the eighth 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 silent letters, words ending in “le” and words with a soft “c” or “g”. In addition to comic-style kids’ pages, highly controlled and decodable prose pages gently increase the amount of text that readers experience and provide even more opportunities to practice the reading skills previously introduced in Meg and Greg books 1–7.

Praise for the Meg and Greg series:

? “Especially beneficial for children who thrive with interactive, multisensory learning experiences. With its approachable language, supportive visual aids, and engaging story lines, this book is highly recommended for any young reader who needs a little extra help on their reading journey.” —Booklist, starred review for Meg and Greg: Train Day!

Key Selling Points

  • This decodable book includes features to accommodate striving or dyslexic readers, such as comic-book-style illustrations, a highly readable font with ample spacing, and shaded paper to reduce contrast between text and paper—all of which make this series more accessible.
  • Targeted at striving readers in grades two to four, ages six to nine, the Meg and Greg series has a wide appeal to ELL readers, reluctant readers and at-level readers alike with its engaging and age-appropriate plots and low reading level that doesn’t demoralize or stigmatize struggling readers.
  • The Meg and Greg series is featured on the UFLI decodable text guide and has been included on The Reading League’s Decodable Text Resources Listing.
  • Co-author Elspeth Rae was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was eight years old. She is now a teacher certified in using the Orton-Gillingham approach to teach children of all abilities to read and spell, and she especially enjoys working with children with dyslexia and other language-based learning difficulties.
