Monday I sent home the very first Scholastic Book Club order form. We are starting with the Arrow catalog for September and the Tab catalog for October. If you haven’t ordered from Scholastic before, please consider doing so this year. You can either order by sending the form on the printed flyer with a check back to school with your child, or by ordering online (see instructions below).
Today’s young adolescents spend an average of just 8 ½ minutes a day, less than one hour a week, reading books, magazines, and newspapers for pleasure (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2005), however it is recommended that they read at least 3-4 hours a week. Fewer than ten minutes of pleasure reading daily is not sufficient time to develop reading proficiency. In addition to time, young adolescents need access to books which they can read with success and which they want to read. This means that the books must match their independent reading level and be viewed by the students as interesting and engaging. When students read texts that they rate as interesting, they report that reading is enjoyable; they are also more likely to comprehend the text (Guthrie, 2003). Scholastic book orders are a great way to invest in your child’s education. Online Ordering Information Web address: scholastic.com/bookclubs Class Activation Code: HCVFF Ordering online is fast and easy because it allows you to send your orders directly to me and use your credit card to pay. Best of all, we earn a FREE book for the classroom library every time a parent places an order online. It’s so simple! Here’s how it works: SIGN UP at www.scholastic.com/bookclubs.
