"HI I'm Laura from youngwritersworkshops.com and I'm going to talk about ordering scholastic books. Scholastic books has a great incentive program for teachers or parents. If you are a home educator and if you teach your children at home or even if you teach a Sunday school class, any group of children that you are teaching you can earn incentives for ordering books that are quite, really will help you to build your library, your personal library, your classroom library. The Scholastic book clubs are broken into groups so there is like a pre-four year old group and then a kindergarten group together and then one and two, three and four in each of the groups. Each age group has a different name for example, Lucky or Firefly and the books that are available are usually very reasonably priced. There are some as low as 99 cents and then the average price is around $4. They may have some hard covers that are a little more expensive and the way it works is you send the forms home or if you are a parent doing it on your own you just fill out the form with the books that you want and then if you are doing it with a classroom you return it to the teacher and then the teacher compiles them all and sends it in. Now for each dollar spent you receive three points so depending on how much you spend you'll get some points that will go towards free books and occasionally they will also just send you a free book just as a special gift and you will also receive really good customer service form the point of view of any time they are out of a book that you ordered they'll send you another free one plus they'll send you the book when it comes in. So it's a very rewarding program to order school books from. Parents can receive books at a good price and the classroom benefits by building up the classroom library. You receive certain points for every book that you order so that is a little bit of information about ordering scholastic books."
