Welcome to

Where
reading is rewarding
for everyone involved
The children of our primary school
s represent the single greatest opp
ortunity for us to change and
shape the future of Australian com
munities. There are few roles mo
re
important in our society than
teaching and raising children. Tha
nk you for making books and Boo
k Clubs a part of this journey.
Scholastic has partnered with Aus
tralian teachers for over forty yea
rs to instil a love of reading in
children. We have provided million
s of opportunities for children to
access quality books and choose
their own independent reading
material, thus supporting our tea
chers’ efforts to foster literacy
through a love of books, a desire
to learn and the joy of practising
reading.
Book Clubs give parents and chil
dren a convenient way to purcha
se affordable, age-appropriate
books to bridge the class-to-home
reading connection and keep the
reading momentum rolling
in your school. You can always trus
t a Scholastic selection, as the boo
ks are carefully chosen and
levelled by a team of our experts
.

Scholastic Book Clubs
give teachers a reading bridge from class to home and an easy way
to encourage age-appropriate independent reading practice.
How Teachers and Schools Benefit from a Scholastic Partnership
1. Earn Generous
Rewards
Schools earn 20% in Scholastic
Rewards on all Book Club orders
to help them obtain free books
and additional learning resources.
One Reward = One Dollar.
Rewards can be used to pay or
part-pay for any School Essentials
order, including our Teaching–
Learning programs, or any Book
Club / TBS order.
t
www.scholastic.com.au/rewards
2. Access to School
Essentials
The School Essentials catalogue
and website is a shop created
especially for Australian educators.
It has everything you need to create
an inspiring learning environment!
www.schoolessentials.com.au
3. Free Online Resources
The Scholastic Teacher Toolkit
gives schools access to hundreds
of free online resources, including
comprehensive units of work,
blackline masters and teaching
notes for many of the books sold
on back Clubs and Book Fairs.
www.scholastic.com.au/toolkit
Each Issue
you will find
lesson plans
and more!
4. Student Engagement
Initiatives
Throughout the year Scholastic
continuously creates activities and
programs to get children excited
about reading and books. One
example is our new Book Club TV
series in short video, featuring the
latest titles on Club, book reviews,
special guests and more.
Why not watch it as a class on
the interactive whiteboard? It’s
a great way to start a reading
conversation!

5. Community Outreach
Scholastic works hard to help all
t
communities across Australia lift
children with learning and literacy.
We have many initiatives throughout
the year which get books into the
hands of sick and underprivileged
children in Australia, who normally
have little or no access to books.
For example, our popular
Classrooms Care program invites
schools to participate and engage
their students in reading more for
a great cause – giving other,
less-fortunate children the joy
of books and reading.

Checklist
This checklist will help to ensure the smooth operation of Book Clubs
1. Check Brochure Requirements
Make sure your students are offered the club most appropriate to their year level.
Change your brochure requirements at www.scholastic.com.au/update or phone 1800 021 233.
2. Book Club Brochures Arrive at Your School
Distribute the individual brochures to the students, advising a return-by date.
Nothing boosts reading excitement like another reader’s enthusiasm! Go over the student brochures
with your students, highlighting your recommendations.
Create a Book Club folder with section dividers for every Book Club Issue. There are eight issues each year. Write your customer number inside the folder for easy reference.
Keep the pre-paid envelope in your Book Club folder. You will need this to return payment to Scholastic.
3. Check Orders
When students return their orders, ensure you check the payment is correct before filing student order forms and payment in your Book Club folder.
Collect student orders in your Book Club folder until you are ready to place your order. You may find it easiest to have a folder for each class. 4. Place Class Orders
Place orders online at www.scholastic.com.au/clubsonline or by phone 1800 021 233.
Class orders make it easy to distribute the books when they arrive
and ensure each teacher receives any gifts included from time to time.
Total the number and value of cheques/credit-card slips/money
orders/vouchers and record this on your payment summary.
Put all cheques/credit card slips/money orders and vouchers into
the pre-paid envelope, along with a copy of your online order confirmation, and post to Scholastic.
Give your bursar/office any cash to be banked along with a
note of the total. Record this amount on your printed copy of
the payment summary.
Don’t forget to keep the student order forms. Then, when your order arrives, match class bags with student order forms and distribute to teachers.
Important Message for Book Club Organisers!
If you are running Book Club on behalf of others, please use the form inside this guide to provide
every teacher with their Scholastic user name and password so they can log on and access all
of the amazing resources—available for free—on the Scholastic Teacher Toolkit.
We are here to help.
