Meg and Greg: Frank and the Skunk

A decodable book featuring four phonics stories specially designed to help children of all abilities become confident readers.

Besties Meg and Greg are off to sleep-away camp for the summer! Along with your standard camp activities (swimming and making crafts) the duo have a run-in with a skunk, sing a silly song about a king, go on a canoe trip that has one glitch after another, and make a mess in the lodge with a fresh batch of fudge!

Frank and the Skunk is the second book in the Orca Two Read series designed for shared reading between a child learning to read or struggling to read and an experienced reader, following A Duck in a Sock. Inside you’ll find four stories that introduce one new phonogram (a letter or combination of letters that represent a sound) in each story: nk, ng, tch and dge phonograms. The stories have special features to help a child with dyslexia or another language-based learning difficulty find reading success.
