In this paper we show that every chordal graph with n vertices and m edges admits an additive 4-spanner with at most 2n--2 edges and an additive 3-spanner with at most O(n ċ log n) edges. This significantly improves results of Peleg and Schäffer from [Graph Spanners, J. Graph Theory, 13(1989), 99-116]. Our spanners are additive and easier to construct. An additive 4-spanner can be constructed in linear time while an additive 3-spanner is constructable in O(m ċ log n) time. Furthermore, our method can be extended to graphs with largest induced cycles of length k. Any such graph admits an additive (k + 1)-spanner with at most 2n - 2 edges which is constructable in O(n ċ k + m) time.
