Scarlet and the Ring

ebook
1 of 1 copy available
1 of 1 copy available

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 Greg: 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 series:

"The stories offer both flashes of humor and plenty of action to drive the instructional intent." —Booklist for A Duck in a Sock

      First in the Orca Two-Read line of books, dedicated to instructing emerging, dyslexic, and English-language learner readers, this primer should appeal to phonics stalwarts and phonics learners. Sisters Elspeth, a literary specialist, and Rowena, a former biologist, make their debut with a set of four elementary tales for kids to encounter with a more experienced reader. Each story, written in several short chapters, introduces the concept for advanced readers (“ck... comes immediately after a short vowel”), notes phonograms at play (“A Duck in a Sock: A Story Featuring ck”), and bolds words employing the sound for easy recognition (jacket, stick). Between tales, word games (“ck match-up”) emphasize the previous story’s takeaways. In the titular tale, Meg and Greg rescue an injured duckling from a stray dog, and “tuck the duck up in a sock” to visit the vet; the others imperil a slew of characters, each delivering tense moments before Meg and Greg save the day. Gutiérrez (Letter Lunch) creates orderly double spreads with illustrated prose on the verso and comics-style panels on the recto; her art, drawn in a heavy ink line, helps readers focus on labeled objects and voice-balloon content. Ages 6–9.

      Gr 1-3-This latest installment in the "Meg and Greg" series, which enables burgeoning and struggling readers with useful exercises, phonics, and sight words, introduces readers to r-controlled vowels (/ar/, /or/, /er/, and /air/). Each story centers one vowel sound, but all embrace the theme of working together to accomplish a goal of recovery. At the end of each tale are activities with sight words and phonics sounds from the plot. In the first story, Meg and Greg visit Greg's family and help his cousin Martha retrieve her missing garnet ring at the farmers' market. In the second, the duo help Martha's friend Flora find her horse Popcorn who was spooked by a storm and ran away. In stories three and four, they help an injured surfer get back to shore, and reunite a little boy with his toy bear. Each spread includes an adult (or buddy) reader's text on the left, and sequential comic-style art with dialogue bubbles and illustration labels for the young reader on the right. VERDICT This is an extremely useful and entertaining series for striving readers; children reading this book along with their partner are not only getting the adventures of Meg and Greg, but learning their sight words and phonics with ease.
