2 CHAPTER BOOKS BUILD READERS. HERE S WHY: High-interest topics covered in chapter books are essential for instilling a love of reading. Chapter books are structured in a way that is welcoming to young readers. Short, action-filled chapters keep readers turning pages and feeling successful in small increments. Familiar characters and settings establish a comfortable relationship between the reader and the text, and will keep young readers coming back for more. The Common Core State Standards require students to independently read and comprehend a range of texts at varying levels of complexity. Chapter books are the building blocks for students to learn how to become independent readers and achieve this standard.
