Synopsis

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.

Join Meg and Greg as they uncover a long-lost secret about a knight, solve a riddle in an old castle, enter a race wearing fancy-dress costumes and help a paleontologist who has made a huge discovery.

Meg and Greg: The Unknown Knight is the eighth 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 introduce silent letters, words ending in “le” and words with a soft “c” or “g”. In addition to 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 1–7.

Praise for the Meg and Greg series:

★ “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.” ―Booklist, starred review for Meg and Greg: Train Day!
