![]() ![]() Where’s Dear Dragon? by Margaret Hillert, illustrated by David Schimmell Plus, it feels like a true picture book, rather than an easy reader.

This early reader book (by the author of the super popular Captain Underpants series) has a lot of repetition and short sentences that make it ideal for beginning readers. For a child who can sound out harder words or will accept a bit of help, this book is a big confidence builder because you can get through it so quickly! This book has very sparse text, but enough of the words are hard enough that it belongs on this list, rather than the decodable readers list. With this much text, it might be helpful to switch off reading pages with your child if they don’t yet have the reading stamina this one requires.Ĭlara and Clem Under the Sea by Ethan Long This book is fairly text heavy but filled with primarily very simple decodable words that are perfect for early readers. The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat by Nurit Karlind There are a few words they’ll probably need a bit of help with, but it’s a fun story that has massive child appeal. The first in the Fox series, this easy reader book was a huge hit with my second and third daughters when they were in this stage. Add in the flaps on each page and it’s a very interactive experience for a beginner, with bonus point for being a familiar character for many. With very large text and only one sentence per spread, this is a great early reader book. You can’t beat Jan Thomas for a laugh-out-loud picture book and this one is full of decodable words with the occasional word (like “rhyming”) that you may need to assist with. ![]() Most young readers know the beloved Henry and Mudge and the Puppy Mudge series is perfect for younger readers who aren’t ready for the longer books featuring this playful duo. Puppy Mudge Wants to Play by Cynthia Rylant, illustrated by Sucie Stevenson I love the Acorn books (they range from very beginning to longer chapter books) and the Frog & Dog series is excellent for early readers with three books in the series featuring a dog who really wants to play with a group of frogs. There are a few trickier words, but nothing truly unmanageable. Plenty of rhyming words and lots of silly antics make this one an absolute win for young readers.

The books vary a bit in how hard they are, so take a look at specific titles before handing them over.Īt 60 pages, this book is going to require a bit more reading stamina, but it has a lot of simple words and feels really great for a young reader who wants to feel like a rockstar. When I asked for easy reader books, this series was one of the most suggested (it was a huge hit at our house too when I had a reader just gaining some confidence!). These were some of the first books my first grader was able to tackle on her own. The Biscuit books are perfect easy reader books because they contain so much repetition, white space, and big text. Lots of simple words make this a big win for a beginning reader.īiscuit by Alyssa Satin Capucilli, illustrated by Pat Schories This picture book is a sweet delight about a little boy having a sick day at home, along with his beloved dog. With lots of repetition and bright illustrations, this is the perfect book for beginning readers who are ready for a simple story. Mud Mess by Mindy Melton Crow, illustrated by Veronica Anne Rooney This one is always a hit at our house, in the same vein of There’s a Monster at the End of This Book, where the rabbit addresses the reader and challenges them to a race through the book (and isn’t above a bit of a cheating!). I Will Race You Through This Book! by Jonathan E. Definitely a home run for a beginning reader! This book is a really great example of easy reader books – nearly every word is decodable and there is a lot of repetition, plus there are is a lot to look at in the illustrations. Go, Go Trucks! by Jennifer Liberts, illustrated by Mike Yamada If you give them to a child JUUUUST starting to sound out simple words and who knows a few basic sight words, they’ll likely be frustrated or overwhelmed.īut if you have a reader who is starting to gain some confidence, is getting comfortable with 4-5 letter words and knows a few more sight words, these books are going to be just the ticket! The books on this list of early reader books are just one step up from those books. A few weeks ago, I shared a list of decodable readers for very beginning readers. ![]()
