Book of the Month Distribution

Over the summer, I jumped on board with many other teachers across the nation to offer my students FREE books all school year long! We're calling it Book of the Month. Local donations from family and friends is making it possible for me to gift 80+ books a month to my middle school ELA classes. It's been a a ton of fun to hand out the books, and the kids beg for them as soon as a new month rolls around!

If you're looking for some wording to begin your own Book of the Month initiative, feel free to use the wording from my post. Just make a copy of the doc & edit to fit your needs.

Here's how it works:

1. Blast your info./request out on social media and by word of mouth
2. Keep an excel sheet/recording form of all your student's names and their matched sponsors. You may want to keep addresses from the sponsors (I took them from the checks), and add them to your excel page for your students to mail thank you notes.
3. Have checks payable to SCHOLASTIC and mailed to YOUR SCHOOL.
4. When checks arrive, match the sponsor to a child on your excel sheet, along with the address, and forward the checks to Scholastic. Scholastic will credit your account.
5. Each month, search the flyers for the $1 specials and load up on books for your class!

Enjoy the sweet thrill of handing out books to your class each month! They will LOVE THIS!
