Children’s books are a bit complicated. You should read to your child based on their age and reading level. Here’s how we define the ages:

0-3 years: Stick to Board books for this age since infants and toddlers tend to tear off paper.

0-6 years: You can start exposing your child to Picture Books quite early as well. It is advisable to not hand over paperbacks to them if they are in the paper tearing phase.

6-9 years: This is when children are starting to read and it’s best to expose them to Phonics Readers and then Early Chapter books to ease them into the phase.

10-13 years: Middle grade novels.

14-18 years: Young Adult books
