Beginner Chapter Books for Girls

Hi there!

Today I’m sharing a TON of beginning reader chapter books, most of which are series with multiple books to read.

My daughter, who is 6.5 years old, is a very advanced reader and recently picked out a chapter book at our local library. She was so excited to read it, saying she felt like a big kid. She quickly read it and was eager for more. So I began the search, found lots of great ones, and wanted to share.

Most of these are geared for girls, but some are great for everyone. To see books more specifically for boys, check out my other blog post HERE. I also love to look at the inside of a book to get a feel of the difficulty level and if it will overwhelm her or not. That is hard to do online, or even unavailable sometimes, so I also have an inside look at every book below so you can see too.

Click the title of each book if you wish to read a synopsis of what it’s about or read reviews. Most of these books have multiple titles in their series, so be sure to check them all out!
