Meg and Greg: A Duck in a Sock

By: Elspeth Rae,Rowena Rae

A decodable book featuring four phonics stories specially designed to help children of all abilities overcome language-based learning difficulties. Meg and Greg are hanging out for the summer doing what ten-year-olds do—helping an injured duckling, finding a lost pet fish, saving ranch animals from a wildfire and catching a wandering sloth! A Duck in a Sock is the first book in the Meg and Greg series designed for shared reading between a child learning to read and an experienced reader.

Each story builds on the previous ones by including words with the phonograms already introduced. In addition, the series has special features to help a child with dyslexia or another language-based learning difficulty achieve reading success.

Meg and Greg: The Bake Sale

By: Elspeth Rae,Rowena Rae

Key Selling Points This decodable book includes features to accommodate struggling or dyslexic readers, such as comic-book-style illustrations, a dyslexia-friendly typeface with ample spacing, and shaded paper to reduce contrast between text and paper—all of which make this series more accessible. Targeted at struggling readers ages six to nine, The Bake Sale has a wide appeal to ELL readers, reluctant readers and at-level readers alike with its engaging and age-appropriate plots and low reading level that doesn’t demoralize or stigmatize struggling readers. Co-author Elspeth Rae is a teacher certified in using the Orton-Gillingham approach to teach children with dyslexia and other language-based learning difficulties. She is currently a literacy specialist teaching reading, spelling and writing to children ages five to thirteen. Co-author Elspeth Rae was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was eight years old. This is the third book in a series. The first two introduced the phonograms (a letter or combination of letters that represent a sound) ck, sh, ch, th and nk, ng, tch, dge. This book introduces the silent “magic” e: a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e and u-e.

Meg and Greg: A Handful of Dogs

By: Elspeth Rae,Rowena Rae

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. Meg and Greg are back to school and ready for fall fun! Join Meg, Greg and friends as they plan an event for dogs at the fall fair, solve challenging clues in a scavenger hunt, complete their planned science-fair project and look after excitable kindergarteners at the pumpkin patch. Meg and Greg: A Handful of Dogs is the fifth 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 different types of suffixes and prefixes (consonant suffixes -ful -ly -ment -s, vowel suffixes -en -er -es -est -ing -y, the suffix -ed and prefixes de- dis- ex- in- pre- re- un-) and the spelling rules for adding them to base words. In addition to the familiar comic-style kids’ pages, Book 5 features new highly controlled and decodable prose pages to gently increase the amount of text that readers experience and to provide even more opportunities to practice the reading skills previously introduced in Meg and Greg Books 1–4!

Why We Need Vaccines

How Humans Beat Infectious Diseases

By: Rowena Rae

Key Selling Points Covers STEM topics, including the history, biology, evolution and effects of viruses and vaccine development. The book discusses misinformation, mental biases and how to think critically about information found online (or elsewhere). It challenges young readers to think about social and ethical responsibility when it comes to vaccination, and their responsibilities as individuals and members of a larger community. COVID-19 and the race to develop a vaccine for it put the topic of vaccines, vaccine mandates and vaccine hesitancy in the spotlight. The book includes career profiles of professionals in the field, such as a doctor, a nurse, a medical historian, an epidemiologist, a medical ethicist, an IT specialist and others. One profile is of two young people who volunteer with a nonprofit focused on training youth to become vaccine ambassadors in their schools and communities. The author is a biologist and science writer, and her mother was an infectious diseases doctor.

Chemical World

Science in Our Daily Lives

By: Rowena Rae

Despite people using both natural and synthetic chemicals with (mainly) good intentions, some chemicals have had unintended negative consequences. Chemical residues have contaminated ecosystems the world over and are compromising the health of many ecosystems, animals and humans. The goal of Chemical World: Science in our Daily Lives is to introduce readers to basic chemistry and chemical history, and to show how chemicals are used for particular reasons but sometimes turn out to be harmful to environmental and human health. It invites readers to take a look at the world around them and ask questions about what’s in their environment and how the things they use and eat every day can affect their own health and the planet’s health. Chemical World: Science in Our Daily Lives explores some of the materials—all of which are made of basic chemical elements—that humans use or come into contact with in their day-to-day lives. Some of these chemicals are naturally occurring—clay, mercury, lead. Others have been synthesized by chemists during the past 150 years and used in a bewildering array of products ranging from roof shingles to toothpaste. Many chemical inventions, as well as naturally produced chemicals, have had profound effects on food supply, developing medicines and creating hosts of useful items for modern life.

Writing in Social Spaces

A social processes approach to academic writing

By: Rowena Murray

Writing in Social Spaces addresses the problem of making time and space for writing in academic life and work of the professionals and practitioners who do academic writing'. Even those who want to write, who know how to write well and who have quality publications, report that they cannot find enough time for writing. Many supervisors are unsure about how to help postgraduates improve their writing for thesis and publication. Whilst the problem does presents through concerns with ‘time’, it is also partly about writing practices, academic identities and lack of motivation. This book provides a research-based, theorised approach to the skill of writing whilst retaining a link to writing practices and giving immediate yet sustainable solutions to the writing problem. It supplies new theory and practice on: socializing writing-in-progress and writing with others exploring the alternation of conscious and unconscious, internal and external processes in academic writing whilst in a social grouping Applying social processes in the writing process Using case studies and vignettes of writing in social spaces to illustrate the theory in practice, This book is a valuable resource for academics, scholars, professionals and practitioners, as well as researchers at all stages of their career, and in all disciplines.

How To Be An Effective Supervisor: Best Practice In Research Student Supervision

Best practice in research student supervision

By: Eley, Adrian,Murray, Rowena

This is a practical guide aimed at supervisors of research students. It is written in a lively case study style and is designed to appeal to supervisors who need a quick fix, and who have neither the time nor the inclination to read a more detailed, in depth book on the subject such as Supervising the Doctorate. There is a growing need for such a volume as the QAA postgraduate code of practice in the UK indicates that all new doctoral supervisors must be trained appropriately. This book will be very suitable for such training courses. The authors both come from a medical background so the book is likely to be particularly well recieved within scientfic and medical departments.
