Scholastic Family and Community Engagement

School Success Begins with Reading at Home

One of the most effective ways to improve reading achievement is to increase access to books. Yet, on average, families from low-income communities have only four children’s books in their homes, and more than 60% have no books at all for their children. How can we help you increase students’ access to books? Take-Home Books: Become a member of our Family and Community Engagement program to provide engaging books in English and Spanish. Scholastic subsidizes all books purchased for student ownership by up to 68%, provides free shipping, and offers 10 free bonus books for every $150 you spend. Join for free at scholastic.com/FACE. Or purchase our book collections for students: My Books Every Day: Enrich students’ reading opportunities with this diverse collection of books and activity sets that reinforce learning skills and encourage year-round reading. My Books Summer: Offset the summer slide with these high-interest take-home book packs in English and Spanish to keep kids reading and writing all summer long.
