[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both picture books and chapter books are good[b]. Some picture books have more complex themes and sophisticated language than chapter books.[/b] A longish chapter book is good for stretching a child's attention span and comprehension of longer plots. But I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things -- neither of my kids were into long chapter books early on (when their friends parents were reading them Harry Potter and Narnia in pre-K), and both are great readers reading books way above grade level now. [/quote] This. Early chapter books are easier to read than a lot of picture books, which are intended to be read TO the child. Both have a role but many parents want to rush past picture books.[/quote]
