UK ONLY: Scholastic is the new home of PM, the UK’s largest reading programme

Posted on 22 January 2015

We are delighted to announce that Scholastic is the new distributor of the bestselling and award-winning PM reading programme.

PM is the largest and most finely levelled reading programme in the UK, with a proven approach to developing successful readers. It is used in schools for guided, shared and independent reading as well as being the only reading scheme that the Institute of Education endorse for Reading Recovery.

With over 900 books spanning 30 finely graded levels, the PM collection provides children with a huge variety of fiction and non-fiction books to enjoy and gives teachers the reassurance that every child can progress with reading.

The best-selling Benchmark Kits are essential for use in schools to help teachers understand what level their pupils are reading at. They are designed to explicitly assess pupil’s instructional and independent reading levels using unseen, meaningful texts. Pie Corbett says that “The PM Benchmark Kit could not be bettered”.

There are new, flexible ways to buy – from money-saving packs for the whole school and targeted packs for reading intervention to individual titles for filling library gaps. We can help you make the most of your budget too with Scholastic Rewards – for every order over £10, you’ll earn 20% back to spend on free books for your school.
