[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are considered chapter books? I am confused. Are those books with many words, no pictures, or certain level A to Z or reading level assigned?[/quote] It depends. The Princess in Black books are chapter books that can easily be read in 20 minutes or so. There are pictures on almost every page. It’s fun and silly and a good transition to longer books. Then you progress to books with a couple pictures per chapter where most pages are only text. Things like Magic Tree House and you get fewer and fewer pictures as the books progress in difficulty. My Father’s Dragon, Matilda, the American Girl books, How to train your Dragon, etc. Personally, I liked chapter books after my kid learned to read in kindergarten. She still enjoyed picture books but could blow through one in 5 minutes. It was nice to have longer stories that we could talk about and it took the pressure off constantly finding new material. We read more difficult chapter books like Harry Potter out loud together which was a nice bonding experience—but it’s also wonderful to have you kid read on their own while you read your own book!
