2020 Gift Guide: Easy Readers & Chapter Books

Yesterday was all about the littles, today I’m sharing 25 easy reader and chapter book titles that are perfect for emerging readers and those ready for the next step! Many books in these categories are part of a series. I’ve given you the most recent title in the series and made sure to include the number if it’s not the first.

These titles also work well as read-aloud for young family members because they include many illustrations within the text. You can find even more great diverse easy readers and chapter books that I mentioned this summer.

If you can do me a huge favor, I’m going to share my affiliate links to both Amazon and Bookshop.org. By purchasing these titles from either link, I’ll receive a small percentage, which means more books for me too! Don’t forget to check out my 2020 Gift Guide: Board Books and Picture Books that I posted yesterday!
