About
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 help out in their community, from volunteering at the Blue Moon Animal Shelter and doing house repairs for their neighbor Mr. Chow to organizing a rodeo for the kids at Mount Royal Hospital and running a scary haunted house for the Blue Moon fundraiser. Plus, take a peek inside their community's Little Free Library in a bonus mini story!
Meg and Greg: Moose on the Loose is the seventh 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 (plus a bonus mini story!) introduce vowel teams and gliding vowels (long /oo/, /ow/, /oy/, /aw/ and short /oo/). 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 1–6.
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.
• Includes explanations of tricky words, activities to practice reading and spelling with vowel teams and gliding vowels, a guide to using the Meg and Greg books and a glossary.
• 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.
