How to Order Books Online through Scholastic

**This is a post I used when I taught third grade, but it is still relevant now.  The only difference is that I make a comment that your child is not in kindergarten--but we know that is not true!  :)  Hopefully you will find the following information helpful in using scholastic.com

Our class participates in a voluntary book club offered by Scholastic.  You may have seen book order forms like these come home today:



Here is how you can do it online.  First, go to our classroom website and click on the book club order link.  Don't forget to keep the class code handy; you will need it! (You can click on the picture to make it larger).


Once you are on Scholastic's site, log-in or register.  You will need our classroom code.


Once you are logged-in, you'll see a screen like this:


Follow the screen directions to check out.  Your child's order will be sent to me along with the other book orders just like normal.  I will then send your order home with your child.

There are benefits to ordering online:
*if the book order papers became lost, you can see everything online
*you can use a credit card
*we earn free books for our classroom library for every online order

Please email me and let me know if you need additional help in ordering online.  Remember, this is optional.
