Once my kids have mastered learning to read simple books on their own, jumping into beginning chapter books feels like such an accomplishment for them. They think it is so cool to say, “Mom, I just read two chapters!” or “Wow, this book has twelve chapters in it!” Never mind that the chapters might be three pages long with large print. Reading “chapter books” is a really big deal for kids and a wonderful way to transition them toward bigger chapter books.
