LET’S CHAT ABOUT CHAPTER BOOKS! – Join us as we chat with Kizzi Roberts about chapter books; What they are, where they fit, and why we need them. Chapter books have long been a staple on the shelves of voracious readers, but what are they exactly? And who are they for? From long-running series spanning over 150 books to new arrivals, we’ll explore key features that make a chapter book different from other middle grade books. From beginning readers to those reading above grade level, we’ll discuss all the ways chapter books meet the needs of readers ages 6 to 10. Monday, March 3 from 7:00-8:00 pm (CST) on Zoom.
