Do you have a child who is building their reading confidence and ready to move up from beginning reading books? Whether starting early chapter books as read-alouds first or immediately using them for independent reading, they’re a great choice! Most feature more text but they are divided into manageable chapters with plenty of illustrations to give your eyes a visual treat.
 
Here are just some of our favorites that we think you’ll enjoy as much as we do!
