The Best Family Read-Alouds Under $5

Dec 13, 2022

Reading aloud with your child not only deepens your bond with them, but it also sets a strong foundation for their language and literacy skills — and the benefits are even better when you can get the whole family to join in. 

These expert-approved read-alouds under $5 allow your child to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts and cover social-emotional topics that teach important life lessons about empathy and kindness

Getting the whole family to read together and discuss a book is a great way to sharpen your child's reading comprehension skills. Featuring favorites, like The Caring Me I Want to Be, these books will help spark conversations with your child about science, friendship, and other themes.
