Scholastic Book Clubs are exclusively school-based clubs that offer teachers and parents an easy way to purchase the best children's books and teaching resources at affordable prices.

They are the three clubs that offer books from Preschool to Secondary levels.

• Star - birth to 6 years old (Preschool level)
• Wizard - 7 to 12 years old (Primary level)
• Ace - 13 to 18 years old (Secondary level)

All the clubs have three issues per year with each issue coming out at the beginning of every school term.

In addition, we have a Mid-Term Special issue in March for all age groups and reading levels.

Running Book Clubs is rewarding for students because they would have access to quality children's literature at affordable prices and schools get FREE resources with the Scholastic School Bonus Points program!

Book Clubs also:

• Generate excitement around books and reading
• Feature the very best imported books from US, UK, Australia, India and others
• Provide access to books at discounted prices
• Encourage recreational reading
• Earn schools valuable Bonus Points to redeem resources needed to enhance the school learning environment

Please call our Customer Service department toll-free at 1 300 88 7818 and a Book Club coordinator will contact your school.

Scholastic Book Clubs booklets each contain 20 (Star/Wizard/Ace) or 50 (Wizard/Ace) pieces of student catalogs in one booklet. Depending on the size of your student population, Scholastic will send the necessary catalogs to you at the beginning of each school term. Please indicate:

• Average number of students in each class
• Total number of classes
• Age/School level

Chosen by expert editors, the selections cover a wide variety of formats, genres and themes. They include classics, award winners, recently released titles and books related to other popular children's media such as movies and television shows.

Children improve their reading skills BY READING, so providing the books they will WANT to read is a priority.

For reluctant readers, reading practice is encouraged by the inclusion of such items as graphic novels, puzzles, activity packs and games.

Each issue will contain a special section called Teacher's Store, giving you practical, up-to-date classroom resources at discount prices.

It's easy! Three  times a year, the school will receive the Book Clubs ordering materials. Each classroom teacher keeps the Teacher's Bulletin (cover) and hand out copies of the Book Club student catalog to the students.

Teachers may wish to go over the student catalog in class so students can be directed to particular books that will interest them. Be sure to set a date for students to return their order forms to the classroom teacher. Collect the order forms and money as they are submitted by the students.

Each school will nominate a coordinator who will then consolidate all the classrooms’ orders and submit to Scholastic through the Book Clubs coordinator or by mail or fax.

Each order helps your school increase its School Bonus Points which can be used to equip your school with great resources.

Make sure that each student's name is on their order form! Fill up the Classroom Summary sheet and keep the carbon copy for future reference. Collect and tally your students' orders and submit the students' order form together with the payment to the Book Clubs coordinator in your school. The coordinator will then consolidate all the classes' orders and submit to Scholastic.

Here are some terrific tips for making ordering easier:

• Indicate the due date for students on their student catalog
• Pin up the poster in the Teacher’s Bulletin in the classroom with the due date written on the space provided.
• Give students a reminder a few days prior to the due date.
• Enlist the help of a parent volunteer to organise and send in the orders.
• Get your students involved! Kids love to help hand out the student catalogs, collect orders and pass out the books. (You'll want to handle the money, of course.)
• The hardest part is keeping track of loose change. Encourage students and their parents to pay by cheque or credit card.

• Attach a note to the student catalog reminding parents of the due date for orders.
• You may want to send a letter home with the first Book Club offer encouraging them to participate.
• Let parents know how important a home filled with books is for creating a lifelong reader.
• Keep parents up-to-date on featured books that supplement what you are doing in the classroom.
• Be sure to remind them, again, about the Book Clubs on Parent-Teacher meetings.

School market restrictions apply to many of the books we offer. This means that we cannot accept orders from home.

Playgroups, home schools, kindergartens, preschools, childcare centers, tuition and learning centres are welcome to run Book Club with Scholastic.

One Bonus Point is rewarded for every RM1 of their school’s orders.

Scholastic School Bonus Points program allows schools to choose the many resources featured in the School Bonus Points catalog that will benefit the school community. They include library resources, early childhood boxsets, teaching resources, bulletin boards, educational software, electrical items and many more.

A points balance statement will be given to the school’s nominated points holder four times a year or they can call the Customer Service at 1 300 88 7818 for a snapshot of their points balance.

The school’s nominated points holder can redeem Bonus Points in one of the following ways:

• From the School Bonus Points catalog
• From the Scholastic website at http://www.scholastic.com.my (available in the near future)
  

There are two ways to make a redemption:

• Full points redemption using Bonus Points only
• Fast Track redemption using both Bonus Points and Cash

The number of Bonus Points required to make a redemption depends on the type resources selected.

Bonus Points have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash or used as a credit against your school account.

Scholastic School Bonus Points does not have an expiry date.
