Scholastic Book Orders

The Scholastic Book Program is a great program that strives to bring the love of reading into every child’s home. I will be sending home scholastic book orders regularly. This program allows you to purchase books for your child to read at home. You may participate in the program as often as you would like.

Typically at this time of year, students coming from Kindergarten into first grade are reading around a Guided Reading Level D. As you read through the scholastic magazines keep this in mind. If your child is reading independently, they can order books usually up to Guided Reading Level F. By the end of the year students are typically reading at a Guided Reading Level I. This will give you a guide as to what kinds of books to order.

Each month, I will give you suggestions for ordering so it is not so difficult to decide what would be a best fit book.

If you happen to get a book that is too difficult for your child, no worries! Reading TO your child is just as important as them reading to you. You are promoting fluency and modeling appropriate reading habits.

You can earn a free book for home if you purchase $25 worth of books! Also, if we are able to have $300 worth of books ordered in September, we will get 10,000 bonus points to purchased books for our library and books on cd so that your children can hear fluent readers and learn how to become fluent themselves. This is incredibly important to have authentic texts in our room and this is the EASIEST way to do it.

You can place your order online at www.scholastic.com. Our class code is TGMJP. You can order online at any time, and there are many books to choose from.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Happy Reading!
