Engaging Book Sets for Every Age Under $30

Aug 28, 2023

Teachers often recommend book sets for kids: Not only do great sets get young readers wrapped up in the excitement of a new series, but they also improve their literacy skills and support what they’re learning in class.

That’s because with each book in a set, children learn more about the characters, setting, and plot. This, in turn, supports their reading comprehension — allowing them to move beyond the basic understanding of a story and into critical thinking about character development, plot twists, and themes.

Luckily, book sets don’t have to put a dent in your wallet. These best-selling book sets by age are all under $30 — and offer incredible value for a low price! In particular, our Scholastic Parents editors hand-picked these book sets because they’re known to engage kids with learning, and will help spark a lifelong love of literacy in your child.
