How I Use Scholastic Book Clubs


Bonus Points, Bonus Points, Bonus Points…Being a Scholastic Book Club member offers lots of bonus point opportunities.

Become a new member and earn 350 Bonus Points. Please use my referral code 511467482. 

Each book that is ordered has a point value attached to it. You accumulate the points and "cash" them in on anything in their inventory.

I use my funding or bonus points
* To purchase hardcover books. They have the latest and greatest
* To purchase paperback books with CD’s (very cheap)
     - Great for days when I’m sick and don’t want to talk much.
     - Great for teachers to use at listening centers in their room.
     - They have seasonal sets of books with CD's. You get a small discount when buying the pack.
* They have fabulous teacher guides that I purchase for our professional library.

 What Scholastic Book Clubs offers for teachers
  • Some teachers may not get enough, or any, orders when they send the flyers home. So by placing an order through me they can still get books they want for their classroom.
  • I pass flyers out to our intervention teachers, resource teacher and school guidance counselor. I ask them to return their order to me by a certain date.
  • When the books come in I organize each persons order and pass the books out. I also submit a total to our bookkeeper.
 What is offers for parents
  • Parents can submit orders online using your special teacher code.
  • You can go in your teacher account and set up the flyers you want parents to shop from.
  • By doing this they have access to more books to purchase.
  • Their credit cards get charged when you log in and request the order to be shipped to you.
  • They get free shipping.
Anytime a parent places an order on the web you get a $3 book voucher. Send out a letter to the parents and share your code. You get bonus points for orders placed on the web too. This is a great way to get orders because not all teachers participate in the book clubs.

If a book is ever on back stock and it ships later then you usually get a $3 voucher for the inconvience.

I have even created my own parent account and I go in and buy books for my boys. School gets $3 J
