So what are the best chapter books to read aloud to a beginning reader? Ones with chapters short enough to hold their attention, a story that’s simple to follow, rich and complex language to stretch their vocabulary, and good illustrations on every few pages. But most of all, the best books to read out loud are books that interest you, the parent. Because if you’re excited about reading, your kid will be too. So fill up your shelves with these amazing chapter books, and then go hide the Dr. Seuss. Promise I won’t tell.
