Grades K-1: Suggested Beginning Chapter Books

This reading list was created by your Youth Services Librarians and includes great contemporary and classic books for kids.

Beginning Chapter Books are perfect for readers who are moving up from Easy Readers but aren't ready for longer, more complicated novels. They still contain lots of pictures and a large font size. There are many fun and engaging series so newly independent readers will find familiar characters and situations that help to provide context. The depth of the plot and the longer story arc help prepare kids to tackle meatier chapter books in the coming years.
