First Chapter Books for Girls who have learned to read - Easy Chapter Books for Young Girls to Read

First Chapter Books for Girls

Books for girls who have learned to read well enough to be interested in chapter books but who aren't quite ready for a junior chapter book. These are easy chapter books with pictures, larger letters and plenty of space between the lines. The story lines are interesting but not too complex and every paragraph makes her want to keep reading to find out more.

Pearlie the Park Fairy

Pearlie the fairy and her animal friends in Jubilee Park save the day in style in this action packed adventure story. Australian author Wendy Harmer uses an easy flowing fun style of language with “hurly burly Pearlie” a popular phrase throughout the book.

The Pearlie in the Park series of books don’t have chapters but are a similar level to other first chapter books and long enough to make girls feel great about reading a “big” book. The fun coloured pictures also help to keep early readers engaged in the story.

I read these to my youngest daughter, who loved them, whilst Zoe read them herself once she was ready to start basic chapter books. There are a range of Pearlie stories, all with your classic good versus evil and ingenuity saves the day type story lines.

Billie B Brown

The Billie B Brown books by Sally Rippin are fantastic for girls who want to start reading chapter books. The story lines are engaging for young girls, the words are big enough that there aren’t too many on each page and there are plenty of pictures. I was a bit sad when Zoe progressed past this level of chapter book because she just loved the Billie B Brown stories. I couldn’t believe it when she sat down and read a whole book in her head one day without moving – now that’s a great book for an early ready.

All the stories are about a 7 year old girl called Billie who is a bit of a Tom Boy but gets lured into pretty things from time to time. Her best friend Jack lives next door and they go through lots of life’s little challenges together. Billie has to figure out what’s right and wrong from time to time, isn’t afraid to get dirty and is a great role model (in my opinion).

There are loads of Billie B Brown stories to choose from and you can either buy them in box sets or individually. My local library puts Billie B Brown Books at level brown (level19-22). But if you want to step up your daughters reading once she reaches about level 15 or more at school then these are well worth investing in.
