Picture books for younger children
Birth to age 5 or 6
Illustrated books with no text at all, simple sentences, or more advanced text. Includes alphabet books, counting books, and books teaching concepts.
Beginning readers
Age 6 to 7 (Grades 1 and 2)
Books for very early (emergent) readers - these are illustrated books with widely-spaced print and basic, repetitive vocabulary to help kids who are new to reading develop and practise their skills.
Easy-to-read stories
Age 7 to 8 and older (Grades 2 to 3)
"Easy-to-read stories" are for children who are ready to start reading chapter books. These books have some illustrations (often in black and white) and use a larger print size than chapter books for older readers.
Picture books for older children

Chapter books for older children.
