Around second or third grade, most children are ready to move on to Transitional Readers: books with short chapters, not much text on each page and one picture or so per chapter. Often these books are part of a series so that children can stick with the comfortable and familiar. The librarians will also be happy to help you find appropriate books, or check “Beyond Picture Books: A Guide to First Readers” by Barbara Barstow and Judith Riggle [REF/011.625/Bar] for suggestions.
