How to search for kids chapter books

July 28, 2010  |  Reading Tips

If you are trying to find chapter books for kids with a search engine, you may need help narrowing down your search. There are many different “keywords” or “search terms” that you can type into Google, Yahoo, Bing, or Ask to find what you are looking for. The first sort might – and I emphasize might – be your child’s grade level in school. Many people start here and type in:

  • First Grade Chapter Books
  • Second Grade Chapter Books
  • Third Grade Chapter Books
  • Fourth Grade Chapter Books

If you try this term: Children Chapter Books – you will likely get results that skew younger than first grade. You’ll note that most people don’t type in Fifth Grade Chapter Books because at that point kids are usually reading in the Young Adult Novels search category.

Another way people think about chapter book series for kids is by gender, interest, or with a specific end goal in mind – like so:

  • chapter books for boys
  • chapter books for girls
  • christian chapter books for kids
  • funny chapter books kids
  • action adventure chapter books

Another way that folks think about chapter books, which is probably more typical of how a reading teacher would think of it, is by reading level – like so:

  • first chapter books kids
  • easy chapter books kids
  • level one chapter books
  • level two chapter books
  • level three chapter books

The whole concept of reading levels is a subject unto itself. There’s a well-known teachers guide to the topic called Matching Books to Reader byFountas and Pinnell that explains the underpinning and provides levelled reading lists if you are interested.

The last way that people search expresses their great hope and faith in the search gods to bring them exactly what might please them with their search:

  • Best Chapter Books for Kids
  • Free Chapter Books for Kids
  • Good Chapter Books for Kids

You can see the train of thought there. Ok – if I can’t have the best, I’ll settle for free chapter books. But if I can’t have free, than a good chapter book will do.

Speaking of free chapter books. We are so sure that your child will like the DaVinchy Series Chapter Books (ebooks) – that we give away book 1. Click on FREE BOOK

Finally, if your child is a struggling reader or a reluctant reader, it is perfectly ok to search on

  • chapter books for struggling readers, or  
  • chapter books for reluctant readers, or
  • chapter books for dyslexia.

Or just stop right here a moment and give the DaVinchy Chapter Book Series a try with our free book. Struggling readers and reluctant readers seem to love this action adventure chapter book series that they can read on their computer. It’s different and fun – not like a regular book that they may have bad associations with.
