If you want your child to read more, it's important to expose them to a wide variety of books so they can discover what topics they like most. When a child chooses their own books, they build a keen interest in reading and continue to develop important skills (while having fun!). However, doing so can sometimes be costly – which is why our editors have pulled together this list of budget-friendly books for you.
This diverse collection of books features a variety of genres and reading levels. And for under $5, these books are a fantastic way to build a robust home library on a budget and help your child develop a love for reading.
