Supporting Developing Readers

A parent and child read a book together

Once children master reading sight words, it can be difficult to select "just right" reads for them. You can support your developing readers by adding to the picture books and early readers that they already love!

Try Advanced Easy Readers for a challenge as your child grows in confidence reading with you. When they’re ready to move on to even more complex reads, let us help you pick the best series in the Juvenile Fiction section. We call these Step into Chapters, and they have a great balance of words and pictures to support your reader as they move into the realm of chapter books. You can also find books like these in our e-book collections.
