BOOKCLUB

The best gift any parent can give a child is the love of books and the joy and benefits of independent reading for fun. Children who read at home, or are read to, have a head start on reading success in school.

Going forward each class will be participating in Scholastic Book Club this year. Up to twice a term, during the school year, we will send home a Club catalogue with a different selection of books offered for all ages.

You’ll find award-winning books and bestsellers, as well as old and new favourites. We recommend them because the books span a wide range of children’s reading levels and interests and because they are inexpensive (some books cost as little as $2).

It is easy to order. The Book Club LOOP platform for parents allows you to pay by credit card. Your child’s order is submitted directly to school safe and sound and the books will be delivered to class. You can place your child’s order at scholastic.com.au/LOOP or using the LOOP app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.

The other benefit of Scholastic Book Club is that our school earns 20% in Scholastic Rewards on all Book Club orders to help them obtain free books and additional learning resources. However, there is never any obligation to order.

There is no better way to encourage reading than to allow children to choose the books they want to read.

We have processed the issue 3 orders and once they arrive at the school, we will distribute them as soon as we can.

Issue 4 catalogues are going out via classroom tubs. If you are interested in buying any of the books, please purchase online via the website www.scholastic.com.au/loop or through the app.

Orders need to be submitted by Thursday 9th of June.
