Supporting schools and libraries for over 90 years, we publish and sell award-winning children’s books and education resources. We believe that independent reading is a critical part of children’s learning and growth. With support from teachers, parents and schools, children choose from Scholastic the books they want to read, and discover the pleasure and power of reading.
