Phonics practice through four vacation stories

Meg and Greg’s vacation supplies the framework for four phonics stories and a bonus mini story, with episodes involving a train birthday party, a sheep rescue, a circus night and a rowboat race. The book introduces long-vowel spellings through vowel teams, pairing comic-style pages with controlled, decodable prose that builds on skills introduced in earlier books in the series. Designed for shared reading between a child learning to read and a more experienced reader, it also includes features intended to support children with dyslexia and other language-based learning difficulties.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning readers practicing long-vowel spellings and decodable text
  • Children who benefit from shared reading with an experienced reader
  • Young readers with dyslexia or other language-based learning difficulties

Book overview

★"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

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, 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!

Meg and Greg: Train Day! 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: ai, ay, a, a-e; long e: ee, ea, e, y, e-e; long i: igh, ild, ind, i, y, i-e; long o: oa, ow, old, oll, olt, ost, o, o-e; long u: ue, ew, u, u-e). 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.
