I’ve been familiar with Scholastic since I was in
elementary. I remember bringing home the reading scholastic book order forms
and always took my time going through each and every page circling the books I
was hopeful my parents would say yes to ordering. Being the second oldest of
five children it wasn’t easy convincing my parents to buy something for me. Now
that I’ve discovered the website as an educator, I’ve found another great
resource to access books and literacy lessons that’s beneficial to my teaching.
Scholastic Education is one of the webpages that can be
found on the website. This page provides an array of literacy solutions for
classroom instruction. Educators can find literacy solution programs for either
the whole class, small group, or independent reading. Furthermore, there are programs
for integrated reading and writing, digital solutions, early learning, as well
as a program on extended day & summer! This way children will be enriched
all year long. Users have access to the available resources tailored for all
learners from grades K-12. A guided reading leveling resource chart is also
provided and used as a general leveling guide to help teacher, administrators,
librarians, and parents make decisions on books to purchase for the appropriate
estimated reader’s level(s). The chart
includes levels on Guided Reading, Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA), and
Lexile Levels.
Teachers can become a member of scholastic for free by
simply registering on the website. I just registered as a teacher and now I’m
eager to explore the many free resources available to me, my students, as well
as my kids. There are thousands of free lesson plans, current book lists to use
in your classroom, an many student activity ideas. Teachers can also build
their library classroom with their 25% off (or more) discount. They can use
their discount on guided reading sets, activity books, paperback collections,
and so much more when they shop in the teacher store. If that hasn’t convinced
you to sign up, scholastic teachables
also have lessons and activities in a variety of subjects and skill levels
ready for printing! Scholastic has a site for everyone in the family! A parent
site, kid site, administrator site, and a librarian site can also be found on
scholastic education. With the many resources available on scholastic it’s hard
to go anywhere else.
