Newsletter Project: Effective Literacy Website # 6
Effective
Literacy Website on Scholastic
The sixth website for Effective Reading Project that I will be reviewing
is Scholastic and the url/website can be found here at (http://www.scholastic.com).
Scholastic was founded
in 1920 as a single classroom
magazine. Today, Scholastic books and educational materials are in tens of
thousands of schools and tens of millions of homes worldwide, helping to Open a World of
Possible for children across the
globe. Scholastic
has a long history of giving back to the community as it fulfills its mission
to Open a World of
Possible for all children by helping them to discover the joy
of becoming lifelong readers.
Their
mission is to
encourage the intellectual and personal growth of all children, beginning
with literacy. Moreover, help children discover the pleasure and power of
reading. For
nearly 100 years, scholastic partnered with districts and schools to inspire
lifelong readers and learners. As its mission stated, to open a world of
possible, and bring the message of comprehensive literacy to you — one school
at time and one child at a time. Scholastic dedicated to be with each
individual on every step of the way on the path to literacy since transformative,
research-based literacy instruction, to expert professional development, and
groundbreaking family & community engagement.
The company
established a fund known as Scholastic Possible Fund mainly to
provide quality books to children in underserved communities, and in
communities recovering from crises or natural disasters with the goal of
improving global literacy. All the books from The Scholastic Possible Fund are
distributed through non-profit partner organizations that work to help children
and families understand the importance of reading as a pathway to understanding
oneself and becoming a lifelong learner. Through the Scholastic Possible Fund,
children around the world have received millions of books through our dedicated
partners.
As I came across the website, I found out
how useful this program is. They provide resources for teachers, parents, kids,
administrators, and librarians. At Scholastic, they believe that the development
of robust literacy skills is at the very heart of empowering children to thrive
in school and in life. That’s why they create literacy solutions that support
the whole child—in the classroom, at home, and in the community. This
is a great opportunity for teachers, parents, kids, administrators and
librarians to help promote literacy to children ages from 3-12.
