Get ready for our May Book Club!

Posted on 29 March 2016

It’s nearly time for the start of a new Book Club, and we’ve got a cracking one coming up for you in May – for a sneak peek, check out five of our top picks below and read on to find out what running a Book Club can do for your school!

Whether you’re a teacher or a parent, there are lots of reasons why Scholastic Book Clubs can benefit your children. Six times a year, we reveal a brand new selection of brilliant children’s books, specially chosen by our expert editors for their suitability for your children. Each Book Club is split into three different sections – Mini, for children aged 0 – 7 years, XD for children aged 7 – 11 years, and Teen, for children aged 11 and over – so there’s definitely something to suit everyone.

As well as helping to promote a lifelong love of reading, every single order will result in free books for your school. For every £1 a parent spends, we’ll donate 20p back in free books to your (/your child’s) school.

For every school order over £10
