My 5 year old LOVES reading, she always has. Your child will love it! A few of my personal favorites to get you started: Take off your flip flops and jump ont the back porch swing with a pile high of great picture books. Don’t encourage your child to grow up too fast. Just like those older wiser women always remind us, “Enjoy every moment, because they grow up so fast.” Reading is no different. Honestly, it’s exciting to watch out little ones carting around thick novels, but I promise, it’s not best. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want that. If your child starts reading chapter books too early, you will find her needing to read material targeted at teens by the time she’s in the 3rd grade. The content of chapter books gets very mature very quickly.
This is the most important point that I want to make here. Reading chapter books too early sacrifices content. Picture books are not for “babies.” There are many picture books out there that are filled with incredible storytelling, literary elements, and complex plots. Moving to chapter books will abandon this resource too soon! If we do, our children will miss the opportunity to experience so much great literature.ĭon’t be fooled. There are probably a million high quality, beautiful picture books that are worth reading. Reading chapter books too early sacrifices great books. Just because they sell chapter books on a first grade reading level does NOT make it a great purchase. They just want to write something that we will buy.įriends, don’t forget that our world is all about marketing.
CHAPTER BOOKS FOR KINDERGARTEN READING LEVEL FULL
They haven’t taken the time to write an excellent story full of beauty. Instead of waiting until they are older, companies have created thousands of low-quality books are fast as possible so that parents will buy them. Classic chapter books such as Charlotte’s Webb or Where the Red Fern Grows are not written for first graders. Many lower level chapter books sacrifice quality in effort to market to younger readers. Reading chapter books too early sacrifices quality.
