How we scored them

The Shelf Score weighs fit, contents, value, and the listed reading age or level. Four picks list a reading age, and two list a grade level. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best educational book bundles for kids

Match the age and grade, not just the cover

Age and grade on a listing do not always agree. The Encyclopedia pick lists a reading age of 5 to 9 years, marked as from customers, against grade level 5 to 12. The Phonics pick lists a reading age of 4 to 9 years and grade level Kindergarten to 3. For more encyclopedia choices, see animal encyclopedias for kids.

Bundle size and format

Bundle size runs from 8 books in the Encyclopedia set to 60 books in the Phonics package, with the Disney and First Library sets at 20 books each. Board books suit the youngest readers; Phonics storybooks suit early readers. For phonics workbooks, see reading and phonics workbooks.

Before you buy

• Check the bundle count: 60 in the Phonics package, 20 each in the Disney and First Library sets, 8 in the Encyclopedia.
• Check the reading age source: the Encyclopedia and Disney ages are marked as from customers.
• For a set, confirm which books are included.
