Early/Everybody Chapter Book Series


Our media center is set up so that students can easily browse for books that they want to read and are able to read independently.  One of the sections in our media center houses our everybody chapter books, sometimes referred to as easy readers, early readers, easy chapter books or early chapter books.  These are books that are marked for lower grade readers and are typically 100-ish pages or less.  Many of these books have pictures that help tell the story (much like picture books), but are much longer than picture books.

These books are placed on the shelf in alphabetical order by author's last name, but occasionally I will place them on top of the shelf on a smaller "spotlight" shelf and may eventually make their way to the Wildcat Favorites section.  (see the post about Wildcat Favorites HERE)

To make locating a book even easier, I use Demco book stops  to label the series, if we have at least 3 books in a series.  Since I began using book stops, students are much more independent when they are looking for books, which helps when I am stuck behind the circulation desk.

The books in our everybody chapter book section often become super popular and are moved to the Wildcat Favorites section.   This is a current list of the series books that are in the everybody chapter books in our media center:
