Meg and greg: the bake sale

key selling points

• this decodable book includes features to accommodate struggling 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 struggling readers ages six to nine, the bake sale 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.
• co-author elspeth rae is a teacher certified in using the orton-gillingham approach to teach children with dyslexia and other language-based learning difficulties. she is currently a literacy specialist teaching reading, spelling and writing to children ages five to thirteen.
• co-author elspeth rae was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was eight years old.
• 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.
