Early Readers

Early Readers are for beginning readers ready for a challenge after our Rookie Readers but not quite ready for chapter books in the Juvenile Fiction collection.

In comparison to Rookie Readers, these books feature smaller fonts, more diverse vocabulary, and more words per page. Some publishers number their books by level, but each publisher has different criteria. So be brave when exploring each book to make the best choice for your new reader.

Early Readers are in alphabetical order by their spine label. Some are labeled by the author’s last name (JUV EARLY READER Froeb) while some are by series name (JUV EARLY READER Star Wars).
