New Routine: Scholastic Book Orders

Encouraging reading is one of the most important things we can do to help children succeed.  Sometimes the right book is all it takes to nurture a child's love of reading.  That is why I'm pleased that Willowwind's Kindergarten Program is offering you another opportunity to enhance your family's home library.  It can be tough finding the right books to keep children interested, which is why I am so excited that our class will be participating in Scholastic Book Orders (now known as Scholastic Reading Club).  During the school year, your family will have the chance to order a variety of inexpensive books for home.  In doing so, our class is able to earn points to enhance our classroom library.

With Scholastic Reading Club:

•  every book you buy earns FREE books for our classroom library

•  you can choose from handpicked, grade- AND reading-level specific books of your child

•  find the best values on a variety of formats, including eBooks

Throughout the school year, your child will bring home Reading Club flyers and you will have access to our online Scholastic Reading Club store where together, with your child, you can choose from a variety of books and then order right online or return the flyer's hard copy order form and payment to me.  On Tuesday, September 2nd your child will be bringing home ordering instructions and hard copy flyers.  Take a look through the flyers and find some of the books I've circled and recommended for our Kindergarten families.

In our classroom's online shop, you will also find book recommendations that I have personally selected for the classroom.  Current, recommendations include some our classroom library favorites including books by Mo Willems and from The Berenstain Bears series.  I have also recommended some great books that revolve around our curricular focuses including starting Kindergarten, being a good friend, and the life cycles of apples and pumpkins.  You will also room find a classroom wish list in our online shop where your family can select special gifts to help our classroom library grow.
