I try to send home a Scholastic book order each week.  One big characteristic of good readers is that they have lots of books surrounding them at home.  This is a great way to give your child exciting new books at good prices.

To make it even more convenient, Scholastic now lets you place your book  order online.   You can help out our classroom at the same time, because every time you order online, we get a free book for our classroom library.  Ordering online is easy, convenient, and benficial.
