Read-aloud books for ages 3–5
Books to share at bedtime and story time — short, warm and full of pictures, made for a child who is listening rather than decoding. Every word highlights as it's read aloud, so a child can follow along whether they're listening or reading themselves.
At this age a child is learning that print carries meaning. Reading to them matters more than anything they read themselves.

Reading levels in this age group
Age is about interest and reading level is about difficulty — they're deliberately separate, so a child can read a gripping book at an easier level.
