Chapter Books for Advanced Beginners

INTEREST LEVEL: Age 6+ 
READING LEVEL: Grade 3+
With the help of educators, we design our Level 3 books and the TOON Graphics for emerging readers ready to tackle longer books--but they're also perfect to be read aloud to any child. 
Level 3 TOON books feature a range of settings in terms of time and place, sustained storylines divided into chapters, and long sentences, with upwards of 800 words. The facial expressions and body gestures that are at the core of our comics encourage social and emotional learning.
​
Read and re-reread these books with young children or let them read on their own and discuss the characters and stories with you. The comic format helps every young reader develop and master 5 core reading comprehension strategies and skills that will lead to fluency: Visualization & Imagining, Making Connections, Retelling, Summarizing & Synthesizing, and Compare and Contrast.
