<p>?<strong>“Especially beneficial for children who thrive with interactive, multisensory learning experiences. With its approachable language, supportive visual aids, and engaging story lines, this book is highly recommended for any young reader who needs a little extra help on their reading journey.”<em>— Booklist, starred review</em></strong></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Join Meg, Greg and friends on vacation where they throw a birthday party on a train, rescue a sheep from a creek, volunteer for a wild night in the circus and compete in a rowboat race. Plus, take a peek at a few of Greg's vacation photos in a bonus mini story!</p>

<p><em>Meg and Greg: Train Day!</em> is the sixth 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 long vowels using vowel teams (long a: <em>ai</em>, <em>ay</em>, <em>a</em>, <em>a-e</em>; long e: <em>ee</em>, <em>ea</em>, <em>e</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>e-e</em>; long i: <em>igh</em>, <em>ild</em>, <em>ind</em>, <em>i</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>i-e</em>; long o: <em>oa</em>, <em>ow</em>, <em>old</em>, <em>oll</em>, <em>olt</em>, <em>ost</em>, <em>o</em>, <em>o-e</em>; long u: <em>ue</em>, <em>ew</em>, <em>u</em>, <em>u-e</em>). In addition to the familiar 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 1–5.</p><p><strong>Key Selling Points</strong></p>

<li>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.</li>

<li>Co-author Elspeth Rae was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was eight years old.
