Meg and Greg: A Handful of Dogs

Key Selling Points
This decodable book includes features to accommodate striving or dyslexic readers, such as comic-book-style illustrations, a dyslexia-friendly typeface 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.
Co-author Elspeth Rae is 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. She is currently a literacy specialist teaching children ages five to thirteen.
Elspeth Rae was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was eight years old.
Includes explanations of the rules of adding suffixes and prefixes to words, activities to practice suffixes and prefixes, a guide to using the Meg and Greg books, and a glossary.
