TEACHERS: Apple Rewards

    
    In the past, Scholastic offered an incentive called "Red Apple Teacher". This meant that any active teacher that placed Reading Club orders totaling $500 in a year would receive special perks such as free shipping, extra bonus points, and special gifts the following school year. I'm happy to announce that Scholastic has tweaked their Reading Club Apple Rewards into Green Apple, Red Apple, and Golden Apple categories. Based on the visual above, you can see the more orders you and your students place the more rewards you receive. However, it's exciting to see a more achievable $250 category for the teachers to work towards as well as a glorious $1,000 category for those who love racking in those extra bonus points. Regardless of the category, all Apple Reward teachers will receive FREE standard shipping, special VIP customer service, and exclusive access to clearance sales and seasonal offers. If you have any other questions about how to achieve Apple Teacher status or what all the perks mean, feel free to e-mail me or comment below.

Welcome!

"Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire." 

~ William Butler Yeats


HELLO DISKIN FAMILY!! In the blink of an eye, back to school has arrived! I know it's been a few months since you've heard from me, but just in case you have forgotten who I am or your kiddos are new to our school, my name is Ashley (the kids call me Ms. Ashley) and I'm our school's Scholastic Reading Club Coordinator. This volunteer position with Scholastic was created March of last year to have someone help encourage our kids to strengthen their reading skills in a variety of ways. This 2014-2015 school year will be my first full school year to showcase my position as Reading Club Coordinator so I'm super excited to get started. I have a few fun ideas lined up to get the kids eager to dig into the fresh new books we have on campus, but I'm always open to comments and suggestions! I'm here to help all of you! Last year I sent home monthly newsletters to keep everyone in the loop of Scholastic's monthly promos and whatever RCC related things we had going on. This year I'm trying something new and created this page for everyone to utilize. Please bare with me as I test the waters. As always, I'd love the hear your feedback on this transition so feel free to comment below or e-mail me any constructive criticism or feedback.

I'm on a bunch of social media outlets to better serve you guys. If you haven't noticed, you'll see all the links on the right hand side of my page: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google Plus. Also, feel free to fill in your e-mail on my little widget right under my social media buttons to subscribe to my newsletter. Every time I post something on this website, you'll receive an e-mail of the post so you'll always be on top of all the fun RCC happenings. Well, take a look around the page and tell me what you think! I'm so excited to get things started. If you'd like to speak to me in person, feel free to message me to set up a meet-up. I'm almost always volunteering around campus so you can also look for the lovely Scholastic Reading Club Coordinator lanyard that I wear and wave me down :) Talk to you all soon!

4. How can I see the reading level for each book?  

As you browse the Scholastic Reading Club website, click on a book image or title for more information about the book, including the reading level. The reading level shown will be based on the reading level system your child's teacher uses in the classroom.
