As a parent or community member, you play a crucial role in supporting your child’s education. One way to make a positive impact is by helping your child’s school acquire free books. Here are some practical ways you can do it!
Hold a Book Fair
A Scholastic Book Fair is like a magical pop-up celebration of reading. It brings the very best books directly into pupils’ hands. When children can choose their own books, amazing things happen. Not only do they widen their vocabulary and stimulate their imagination, but they also improve overall performance at school. The excitement for reading doesn’t end after the event—every book sold at your Book Fair contributes to earning free books for your school. So, consider organizing a Book Fair and watch the shelves fill up with captivating stories and educational resources.
Run a Book Club
Six times a year, Scholastic reveals a brand new Book Club selection of quality children’s books at discounted prices. These carefully chosen titles are designed to get children reading for pleasure and keep them engaged throughout their teenage years. Schools running online-only Book Clubs share their unique Scholastic website address with parents. Parents can order securely online, and for every £1 they spend on your school’s Book Club order, Scholastic donates 20p in free books back to your school. It’s a win-win situation: children discover great reads, and your school builds its library.
Purchase from the Scholastic Shop
Anyone can order from the Scholastic Shop! Whether you’re a teacher, a parent, or a former student, your orders can support your school. Simply choose from thousands of books and educational resources on the Scholastic website. During checkout, select your chosen school, and Scholastic will donate 20% of your total order value back to the school in Rewards. So, when you shop for your child, you’re also investing in their school’s literary journey.
Build a School Wish List
Creating a Scholastic Book Wish List unique to your school is easy. This platform enables parents and the wider community to buy the books your school needs to support reading. Set up your wish list and drive successful fundraising. Plus, your school can earn an additional 20% in free Rewards, which can be redeemed on the Scholastic site for even more free books. It’s a fantastic way to involve parents, boost literacy, and enhance your school’s learning environment.
Remember, every book matters. By participating in these initiatives, you contribute to a world where children have access to captivating stories, knowledge, and the joy of reading. So, let’s come together as a community and ensure that every child’s school library is brimming with exciting adventures waiting to be explored! 📚🌟
