Scholastic Book Club
Research shows us that reading more improves performance in: general knowledge, vocabulary, reading comprehension, verbal fluency and spelling. Just 10 minutes spent reading every day can open a child up to over 600,000 words in a year!
Scholastic Bookclub is a fantastic way to help grow your home library and keep kids reading at home. They offer a wide range of books at very competitive prices – there is a range of $2 specials in every issue! You can always trust a Scholastic selection, as the books are carefully chosen and levelled by their team of experts. Book Club contains a core range specifically chosen for the selected year levels. The catalogue also includes an extended range of products in the Extra! Ages section, to offer reading choices beyond the core year levels, for gift and sibling purchases.
At St Mary’s School, Bookclub catalogues are issued twice per term (Term’s 1-3), with a Bookfair in term 4 to finish off the year. The kids LOVE ha
ving bookclub arrive in the school hall for a whole week – just like a real bookshop! Bookclub is also a fundraiser for the school, receiving 15% back in rewards for every order that can used to boost resources in the school library as well as in classrooms.
Bookclub orders are now placed online. Parents can choose to download the LOOP app. (for Apple or Android) or can place orders directly through the website; scholastic.com.au/LOOP.
