Who We Are Former and current educators, editors, and publishing professionals who all share a passion for literacy, learning, and supporting educators. What We Do Build and refresh classroom library collections. Partner with educators to identify gaps and needs and co-design solutions to align with your goals. How We Do It We first review thousands of books from multiple publishers for the best new titles. We then review data from our internal partners at Scholastic Book Fairs and Clubs to identify titles that have captured students’ hearts and minds. School districts, literacy coaches, and classroom teachers in every state have turned to Scholastic for their classroom libraries for more than half a century. We first strive to deeply understand your specific needs, students, and goals. With that knowledge we can then apply our extensive expertise in titles, grade levels, student favorites, and library configurations to build a made-for-you solution.
Customization Our team of education experts can create customized booklists for you—avoiding duplication across grade levels—and align selections to state academic standards. We also offer personalized consultations, analyzing your current classroom libraries and school data to help identify needs and recommended next steps.
Classroom libraries are an important component of elementary classrooms. These collections support readers’ literate identities, their motivation to read, and their access to texts that reflect a world outside of the classroom. —Henderson et al., 2020

Building a Culture of Literacy Begins with Access An effective classroom library is foundational for creating an environment steeped in literacy and learning. Research shows that students in classrooms with libraries read 50– 60% more than those without the same access to books. 1 This ability to spend additional time reading each day is consistently linked to higher achievement scores. Charter schools are at the forefront of reimagining education. They are driven by a commitment to innovation, student-centered learning, and strong community values.
