Scholastic

Scholastic is a great source for books and resources for all ages, and I love it because they have a large French catalogue. In addition, if you use our class code, we sometimes receive free gift books for our class, or bonus dollars that I can spend to buy books for our class. You may also qualify for free shipping using our class code.

If you would like to purchase books for your home library (or holiday gifts!), here is how it works:

1. Visit the link - my link takes you directly to the French section, but you can navigate around.
2. Browse and place any desired items in your cart.
3. When you are ready to check out, you will be prompted to set up an account.
4. When you are prompted, please use our Class Code:  RC184887
5. Follow the instructions for payment etc.
6. Scholastic ships fairly quickly, I have usually received books within a week or two.

I encourage involving our students in selecting some books that they are interested in, as this will get them motivated to read. At the same time, it's important to select some books that we know will be at their comfortable reading level. Using my link, you will see a section called "Sight Words". Here, you will find sets of short books that are very much like our RAZ-kids books - simple vocabulary, not too many words per page. These will help us become confident readers! Best of all, they are just over $1/book! 

I hope this is a useful resource for you. Bonne Lecture!
