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.
• This is the third book in a series. The first two introduced the phonograms (a letter or combination of letters that represent a sound) ck, sh, ch, th and nk, ng, tch, dge. This book introduces the silent “magic” e: a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e and u-e.
