Young readers will be enthralled by engaging stories, like the BOB books series, which teaches basic literacy skills and gives them the confidence to read more fluently.

For early readers who love sweet stories, try the Fancy Nancy: A Fancy Reading Collection — a series centered around a little girl who has a larger than life personality and a love for anything fancy. Featured in the collection is The Case of the Disappearing Doll, a level 1 read centered on Nancy’s mission to uncover her missing doll before the tea party! 

Another very easy reader book for beginning readers is Hi! Fly Guy! This book has short sentences, illustrations, and a sight word on every page to bring the book to life. What’s more, this is a great book to introduce the Fly Guy series to your early reader. If your young reader enjoys this character, you can introduce them to other books in the series like Fly Guy Presents: Sharks
