Meg and Greg: Frank and the Skunk

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, Frank and the Skunk 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 second book in a series that introduces one new phonogram (a letter or combination of letters that represent a sound) in each story. These books are cumulative, so each story builds on the previous one, and each book will build on the previous book. The first book covers the ck , sh , ch and th phonograms and this book covers the nk , ng , tch and dge phonograms.
