Bonus Episode: Meg and Her Red Pet Ned
In this bonus Rocking and Reading podcast episode, we meet Meg and her red pet, Ned, in a fully decodable short e sound story designed to build early reading skills through sound play, rhythm, and imagination.

This short and sweet phonics adventure follows Meg as she cares for her pet and navigates a few surprises along the way. Perfect for preschoolers, kindergartners, and early first graders, this story uses only one-syllable, short e words and Pre-K–1st grade sight words to support independent decoding and phonemic awareness.

• Fully decodable story using the short e sound

• Aligned with the Science of Reading and speech-to-print approach

• Interactive sound segmentation activity ("Break It On Down")

• Great for classrooms, homeschools, and car rides

Kids can listen along, tap out sounds, and answer comprehension questions to support critical thinking and reading fluency. This podcast is screen-free, musical, and rooted in research-backed literacy instruction.
