Ordering Scholastic books? They are always due 2 weeks from the date they are sent out, on the Friday.
What can I do with a Scholastic order form, even if I'm not planning on buying any books? Why does the teacher keep sending them out all the time?
Browsing through a Scholastic book order is like browsing through a catalog for a young child. Books are exciting! Even if you do not plan to order books, there are lots of activities that can be done to promote literacy.
Some examples include:
1. Finding books you would want to read
2. Finding non-fiction books, vs. fiction books
3. Write down the titles of the books
4. Find books with a girl as the main character
We strongly suggest that you do these activities at home with your child.
