Chapter Books



© Noémie Gionet Landry


Between picture books and middle grade are early readers and chapter books - the first books that children read by themselves.

Webinars

Mar. 3,7-8 p.m. CST Let's Chat About Chapter Books– Join us as we chat with Kizzi Roberts about chapter books; What they are, where they fit, and why we need them. Chapter books have long been a staple on the shelves of voracious readers, but what are they exactly? And who are they for? From long-running series spanning over 150 books to new arrivals, we’ll explore key features that make a chapter book different from other middle grade books. From beginning readers to those reading above grade level, we’ll discuss all the ways chapter books meet the needs of readers ages 6 to 10. (free for Nebraska residents, SCBWI members $10, others $15)
