Not to mention at this grade level that the language was not so complex a child should be able to sound things out as they read alone, and even if so, an adult might read with them. Drawbacks, I can see maybe lack of interest; speaking personally if a series starts getting boring, I will not be sticking around for books 17-30. Not to mention availability, especially in library settings, where the child might be ready for the next book but it's gone! And they lose interest and decide it's all not really that worth it.


The earliest chapter books I remember really reading were The Hunger Games in middle school, and I still reread them to this day!
