Meg and Greg: Scarlet and the Ring

by Elspeth Rae, Rowena Rae, Elisa Gutierrez (Illustrator)

A decodable book featuring four phonics stories specially designed to help children with dyslexia or other language-based learning difficulties find reading success. While Meg and Greg are visiting Greg’s family on Stardust Island they find themselves searching for one lost or missing item after another! Join Meg, Greg, cousin Martha and a puppy named Scarlet as they discover the thief who took off with a precious garnet ring at a farmers’ market, find and catch a horse named Popcorn who got lost in a forest, save a surfer who fell from his board and got badly hurt and chase an escaped teddy bear dangling from a helium balloon at a fun fair. Meg and Scarlet and the Ring  is the fourth book in the Meg and Greg series designed for shared reading between a child learning to read and an experienced reader. Inside you'll find four stories that focus on words with r-controlled vowels. For the first time in the series, readers will also be introduced to multiple spellings for a single sound. Praise for the Meg and Greg “A thoughtfully designed storybook adds another helpful tool to the box for readers who need support.” ― Kirkus for Frank and the Skunk “A unique approach to high-interest texts for reluctant burgeoning readers, this book offers phonics fun wrapped in serious research-based success.” ― School Library Journal for A Duck in a Sock “The stories offer both flashes of humor and plenty of action to drive the instructional intent.” ― Booklist for A Duck in a Sock

I read this with my seven year old. So many leveled readers contain some phonetic words but throw in a lot of more unknown vocabulary that follow no phonetic rules. This book series does an excellent job of building on learned phonic cues and uses decodable words. Plus, the stories are actually interesting while still maintaining the ability to be easily followed for emerging readers. This is the perfect step up from “Bob” and other similar CVC level books.
