Study Jams - Book Clubs

Book Clubs

Scholastic book clubs are offered at schools in many countries. Typically, teachers administer the program to the students in their own classes, but in some cases, the program is administered by a central contact for the entire school. Within Scholastic, Book Clubs is a separate unit (compared to, e.g., Education).

Book clubs are arranged by age/grade:

• Honeybee – 2- to 4-year-olds
• Firefly – Preschool
• Seesaw – Kindergarten and Grade 1
• Lucky – Grades 2 & 3
• Arrow – Grades 4, 5, & 6
• TAB – Grades 7 and up
• Specials: other, often irregular, clubs that may be handed out to students together with the "core" clubs' flyers.

In Canada:

• Elf – preschool
• SeeSaw – K–1
• Lucky – 2–3
• Arrow – 4–6
• TRC (Teen Reading Club) – 7+
• Click! (software) – Pre K to 8
• Specials – K to 6
• Club de lecture (French) – Pre K to 8

And Australia:

• Wombat – Preschool and Kindergarten
• Lucky – K–2
• Arrow – 2–4
• Star – 5+

Scholastic also offers a host of specialty book club fliers including Club Leo (Spanish language for grades K–8), and Click (Computer games and media for all ages).

Scholastic typically offers participating schools and classrooms 1 "point" for every dollar (or local unit of currency) of products ordered. Additional points may be earned during special promotion times, such as the beginning of the school year. Points may then be redeemed for books and school supplies at a rate of approximately 20 points to the dollar. At minimum, schools earn 5% of book orders in free products. With special promotions, return rate can be higher (15–100%).
