A fabulous collection of chapter book series for young readers making the move into chapter books for the first time.
Discovering an awesome chapter book series turned reading from a chore to a pleasure for my eldest daughter. One day I brought home a Billie B. Brown book and my daughter really liked it. When she discovered it was part of a series she wanted to collect and read them all. Now my daughter regularly swaps her chapter books with her friends, carefully sorts them on her bookshelves and loves to visit our local book store and library to find more.
Why choose a chapter book series for your early reader?
There is something about a series with familiar characters and their collectable nature that can spur a young reader on to read more and more. I have talked to my daughter and her friends to compile this list of 21 great chapter book series. Some are fairly easy to read and some are a little more challenging but, as a general guide, these books are suitable for readers aged 6 to 8 years.
You can find slightly more challenging books in our follow on list – 21 Best Chapter Books for 7 Year Olds.
Many of the titles within this collection continue to include some illustration as an aid for early readers as they make the transition from school reader or picture book to chapter books.
Each child makes their own individual journey into reading, in their own time… but finding a series that your child loves might just make it all the more enjoyable!
