Each month I will send out Scholastic order forms. Please note that there are two book orders ( Lucky And Arrow) . You may order from either one or both. One check will suffice for both clubs. If you do write a check, please make it payable to SCHOLASTIC. I send these book orders out as a courtesy to families, so please understand you are under no obligation to purchase anything.
If you choose to order you have two options. The first is ordering the “traditional” way by sending back the book order with your choices marked. Please be sure to place the order inside your child’s take home folder on the “return to school side.” Also please write your child’s name and “book order” on the outside of the envelope.
The second way to order is via the scholastic web site which is :
Scholastic will update me if you placed an order…it’s pretty slick and convenient!
Scholastic levels many of their books to make selecting an appropriate leveled reader for your child easier. For second grade the” Guided Reading” (labeled on the orders as GRL) levels are typically from LEVEL N through LEVEL S. There are a wide range of reading skills and strategies that increase in complexity as students move from one level to the next. Often time children want books that are WAY outside of their independent reading level. Helping your child to choose books that are at their level will empower them to read independently. Your child’s reading level will change throughout the year and opportunities for book selections can change. If you would like further information, about the leveling system or book choices, I would be happy to assist.
When parents order from scholastic our class room does benefit. I accumulate bonus points for orders received and with those bonus points, I purchase books for our growing classroom library. So, if you are ordering, please know that you have added a book to our classroom library as well. It’s a nice perk!!
Thanks and be sure to let me know if you have any questions!!
