At Scholastic, we believe that learning begins at home.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a great educational background yourself – it’s all about supporting your children and encouraging them to be confident in their own abilities.

One of our favourite new initiatives is We Are Writers, a self-publishing service for schools, youth clubs and other community groups. ‘Writers’ offers children a unique – and inspiring – opportunity to see their writing published in a real book. You can find out more at www.wearewriters.com, or give Cherie a call on 0845 803 9600.

We have also just launched an online Book Club where you can buy a huge range of discounted children’s books. What’s more, for every £1 that you spend on the Book Clubs site, we will donate 20p in Scholastic Vouchers to a school of your choice. Win, win!
