• Champ: Pre-K to Class 2

• Ace: Classes 3 to 5

• Star: Classes 6 to 8

 

School and Book Clubs

Why should schools participate in Book Clubs?

Running Book Clubs is rewarding for students because they would have access to quality children's literature at affordable prices!

They also:

• Generate excitement around books and reading

• Feature the very best imported books from US, UK, Australia, India, Canada and many more

• Provide access to books at discounted prices

• Encourage recreational reading

• Earn schools valuable Bonus Points to redeem resources needed to enhance the school learning environment

What books can be found in the Book Clubs catalog?

Chosen by expert editors, the selections cover a wide variety of formats, genres and themes. They include classics, award winners, recently released titles and books related to other popular children's media such as movies and television shows.

Children improve their reading skills by reading, so providing the books they will want to read is a priority.

For reluctant readers, reading practice is encouraged by the inclusion of such items as graphic novels, puzzles, activity packs and games.

Can the school place a second order, or an order after the return-by date?

Additional orders for the current and previous issue of Book Club can be placed after your first order has been sent to Scholastic. Follow the same ordering procedure as for a normal order.

How can the school get the parents involved?

Attach a note to the student catalog reminding parents of the due date for orders.

You may want to send a letter home with the first Book Club offer encouraging them to participate.

Let parents know how important a home filled with books is for creating a lifelong reader.

Keep parents up-to-date on featured books that supplement what you are doing in the classroom.

Be sure to remind them, again, about the Book Clubs on Parent-Teacher meetings.

 

Delivery

Does Scholastic charge shipping and handling fees?

We do not charge handling fees on Book Club orders. Nor is there any surcharge on delivery.

How are the books packed when they are delivered to the school?

All student orders are individually packed according to the classrooms for easy distribution by their respective class teachers.
