ALL PARENTS WANT THE BEST for their children, but when it comes to procuring books, most do not have information about the recent titles from publishers around the world. Scholastic School Book Clubs assist children and parents in making the right choice by providing, every quarter, the opportunity to pick from age-appropriate sets of the latest and the finest books, in English and Hindi, and CD-ROMs. The club titles include picture and activity books, works of fiction and non-fiction, books on science and other titles for learning, and reference works. These books are offered at lower-than-market prices, even lower than our own book fair prices.

We run three Scholastic School Book Clubs: Champ — for Preschool to class 2, Ace — for classes 3, 4 & 5, and Star — for classes 6 & Up. Three times a year, we make preliminary selection of books suitable for the intended age groups. Members of our advisory group comprising educators from well-known schools examine these, and titles approved unanimously are offered through beautifully designed annotated lists called Student News.

The Student News is distributed among children in supportive schools. Children take it home, and study it along with their parents. Children wanting to buy one or more titles, mark them on the order form, and bring the order to the school, with the payment. Our educational coordinators collect the orders, and supply the books, in separate packet for each child, within a fortnight.

By accepting Scholastic School Book Clubs, more than 3,500 schools have already made this reading promotion service available to around 2,500,000 families in India.
